You want the "K" CPU if you want to overclock.

Jony27 · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:20

and get this RAM

Oh hang on will my BeQuite 530w be able to handle all this and an OC on the GPU/CPU

Jony27 · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:22

yes it will be fine for a single GTX560, youd want a quality 650w if you want SLI.

kPATm · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:25

Is this better?

I like the cooling solution on the MSI card better than the OCUk card

stulid · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:26

Same pic.

kPATm · 28 Jul 2011 at 21:03

The pic in post 20 has the OCUK GTX560 and the pic in post 25 has the MSI GTX560 with a dual fan cooling solution?

Jony27 · 28 Jul 2011 at 22:51

its the RAM

kPATm · 29 Jul 2011 at 19:09

OK what about the spec in the pic at post 25? This is the one Im thinking of going for.

stulid · 29 Jul 2011 at 19:12

That is fine.

kPATm · 30 Jul 2011 at 11:20

Eh. I have changed it again. This is my final change till I order this afternoon. I have added a case and changed from a GTX 560 to a GTX560ti. Will my 530w PSU cope with the 560ti?

stulid · 30 Jul 2011 at 13:24

This has higher clock speeds,

Psu will be ok.

kPATm · 30 Jul 2011 at 13:27

It does yes but according to the reviews a few people have had to underclock it to get it stable?

stulid · 30 Jul 2011 at 13:35

Links?

You would think it would be well tested before leaving factory.

kPATm · 30 Jul 2011 at 13:36

Just the reviews from the link you posted and

Oh those, well they make no mention if their psu is capable of powering the card, if it is not then you get pc resets/blue screens etc.

They also don't mention if they have good cooling in their case etc.

And these reviews are pretty random anyway with people posting stupid comments for other products that have no baring on what they said.

kPATm · 30 Jul 2011 at 14:01

I would imagine the MSI could be clocked to match the Gigabyte card would it not?
