The motherboard is P35 and will allow you to upgrade to Penryn sometime in the future. RAM and CPU are both very overclockable. Have you got a HDD?

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

That is awesome thanks Alex UK!

Cant thank you enough!

Cant believe all that and a case fell under £300!

Yeah i do have a HDD, i have 2, a wee 80GB WD and a 300GB Mator... both SATA... would consider getting rid of them too tho... for any good cheap HDD

Love the motherbard...! Is the CPU a good wee one... should i not try to get one of the 1066fsb ones?

Thanks again mate!

 

[Alex UK]

No problem mate!

The CPU is very good and highly overclockable, you wont be disappointed. Have you got a decent CPU cooler? If your going to be heavily overclocking then it would definitely be wise to invest in something such as the Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

No buddy... the only cooler i have now is the ac64 on my x3800 939

Great news about the cpu, thanks!

300 still seems fantastic... i need to see how much my current system would fetch before doing all this...

Thanks!
