Spec help please

[AndyBorzi]

I know I know, yet another spec request! But you guys are so good at it and there is soooo much to choose from!

I have an £1100 budget, possibly able to push £1200 (with abit of crawling to the wife!)

I believe Conroe is the current way to go (last time I asked it was an Opteron) and I want the HIS 1900XT 512Mb Graphics card. Not bothered about XFIRE but may want to Overclock. Also needs to be quiet! Apart from that I will leave upto you guys!

*EDIT* Don't need monitor, mouse, keyboad, soundcard

Thanks a lot

wow you guys are quick...thanks for your responses.

You have both gone for the Scythe Ninja Plus Heatpipe CPU Cooler. Will I also need the thermal paste stuff?

Will I need extra fans for additional cooling/air flow or will what you have suggested suffice?

Are these quiet options?

with this setup would reckon u would get 3.2 to 3.5 , very fast pc

Thats what I was hoping for

also on that asus board they working on a bios 2 unlock multi (downWords), thread about it on antech, very impressive read with this board & 6300 core 2 chip

lol - nope you lost me there. If you are referring to overclocking, then I have no experience with it and will probably dabble - very slowly and carefully!

Is there much difference between the 6300 and 6600? Both have been specced to me.
