Good evening from Singapore.. (hols!)

just wondered if anyone would care to share any thoughts about my new build at all...

Phenom 2 940 (BE) - will be OC to 3.4
Antec 902
Corsair 2x2 gb mem
Gigabyte 790fx mobo
4870x2 gpu
750w corsair psu
Vista 64
Aftermarket HSF (still deciding which one)

Thoughts anyone...

Oh and it's for gaming.

Cheers

looks good. but a 650 watt psu would be fine. cossair again. i guess if you plan on upgradeing again keep it. if you are using 64 bit, get 8 gb of ram. also im not an expert so if someone disagrees you had proably best take their side but i have heard bad things about crossfire. that it laggs e.c.t so a single 4890 might be bettter. nd it would have more upgradeability.
 
Just remember to get DDR3 ram.

Windows 7 will be out october time preorder prices seem quite cheap, for us anyway (£50). You could use the release candidate till then.
 
4870x2 won't be in crossfire as it only takes one pci slot....???

Had dd2 in my build (sorry should have said) as most benchmarks around the net have very little difference from the 955be ddr3 and the 940be with ddr2 (for gaming that is)...

Just seen that the i7 920 has come down in price.... mmmmmmm
 
it just depends on the motherboard they only support ddr3 or ddr2 and the Gigabyte 790fx mobo seem to be ddr3 or on ocuk they do.
