Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI - £84.99
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz £54.99
Abit IP35-E (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £64.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail £51.99
I am looking to order these components tomorro as my pc went bang. This is a temporary solution for me, i will be using this over the summer and building a completely new rig come september. Im wondering is this a good choice or if i should improve somewhere?
I want to overclock with air (and not too viciously), can some1 spec me a good air cooler for the e2160? Do you think the mobo / ram hold me back much?
I'll be using windows xp, with programs such as 3ds max, autocad and photoshop mostly, with a small bit of css :/ and want the system to run at least as good as the one in my sig!
I don't mind spending another 50 or so quid if it will improve the system a decent bit
Also, I have the Hiper R 580 psu... will this be capable of powering the above? Regarding power and this image of the mobo - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/pimg/MB-129-AB_400.jpg . Is that an 8pin power connection at the top right, because i don't believe i have a connection for that?
Cheers for the help!
