Spec check

I've knocked this together and would like some opinions. Is the RAM overkill? Any recommendations on a cheaper mobo perhaps? Does the PSU have enough wattage? Haven't been on the scene for a while so not really sure what to go for. Thanks

Edit:

I've heard that fan is huge. Will it fit on the IP35 pro?

Thanks for your input. Why would you choose that over the IP35 pro? I've seen the pro recommended many times as she can hold her overclocks well.

I don't plan on doing crossfire in the future.

I have no idea who Cob is

I'll keep that in mind jessjess, thanks. I am trying to keep it around 500 though

Yeah it seems the IP35 obtains the best clocks from the reading I've done.

Hehe

Well I think I'm going with the pro. It has great feed back from users so

Edit:

I think I'm going with the PC6400 black dragon. I won't be going over 3.7GHz so it would be pointless to get the PC8500 sticks.

Going to order tonight so any last opinions are much appreciated

sniffy · 11 Aug 2008 at 19:52

Thanks for the input mate

OK thanks slash. I will consider that. I just can't find much info about it on the forum. I will have a better look

Any more opinions on which motherboard to get?

OK I've mixed it around again. I found the P5Q thread and it's clearly a lovely board so I'm going with that. I've gone with a slightly higher wattage PSU too.

Any suggestions before I order? Sorry to keep asking, I just want to make sure I'm getting best bang for buck

That's £500 delivered.
