This will be a gaming rig and i am intending to overclock.

only 1 question really which is, will the mobo support the 4gb ram ok?
 
Guys ive been doing some reading about 4gb and the p5n32-e sli and it seems whoever has 4gb running has to underclock the ram to 667 to get there pc to post into windows or to take 1 stick out to keep it running at 800.

Can anyone shed some light on this please, as i would hate to buy the spec ive listed and would have to underclock it rather then overclock it

Much better than OCZ :D

Having owned both I wouldnt say the Corsair is much better, infact in some area's the OCZ is better. Mine is for sale in MM, only reason I changed is to go modular, when I had the Antec 900 it didnt matter as there was more room for extra wires in the bottom of the case.

Thx guys but i really need an answer for this question :)
 
The spec looks good! Just remember that if you’re going with 4GB RAM you'll need 64bit Windows as 32Bit Windows can only address a maximum of 3GB RAM :)
