Hello Overclockers im looking to buy the "Titan 350i Gelata" Intel Core i7 3770K @ 4.40GHz Overclocked Ivybridge Quad Core Gaming PC

Any information/feedback would be well appreciated.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-339-OE

What memory brand is used in this build?

I`m also going with the option for a gigabyte 7970..
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-097-GI&groupid=701&catid=56
Are up to date drivers installed on the build? or out the box disc (having WIN7 64bit OS installed with build as well)(same question on the BIOS?)


Im also after a monitor...ermmmm this one Asus VS278Q 1MS Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-046-AS&groupid=17&catid=1120

Is this a good monitor paired with the GFX card?

I gather from another thread that the liquid cooling is just a sealed unit cooler for the CPU? so i will never have to mess with it?

How hot does this system run, wont need any extra cooling? (really dont want any)

With these overclocked systems can you switch between OC`d and not OC`d? is it easy enough to do or a whole bunch of messing? a profile saved somewhere and can be just loaded unloaded?

The case for my build....BitFenix Raider Tower Case - Black
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-BX&tool=3
I have read reviews on this case and people warn that a long graphics card on some MB`s can be too long because they hit the corner of a noddle like thing on the drive bays of the case?
So i guess the question is does the positioning of the hd 7970 on the MB have enough room so that it doesnt touch the drive bays...i see a section of the drivebay comes out to fit long cards?...but from reviews people say the GFX card can hit the bays even with the section removed on some set-ups???


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here with the machine of my dreams!!!!.

Hello all thanks for the replies on this build and the info on the OC switching

I can't help you out but I'd be interested to hear what memory and mobo they use for this. Looking at the component list (and choosing cheapest for mem & mobo type) its about £100 less than the build price. With the O/C already done for you and the hassle of building taken away then its makes even less sense to me to build my own.

I found on another thread that the MB is a Gigabyte Z77-D3H ?

ScottiB Thanks for the info on the memory, what were stocks like last time you looked? lol...im looking at buying the machine on Tuesday.
i was asking about the OC switching on/off because it will run cooler when not OC`d?.....the room the machine will be in has the sun on it at the end of the day and in summer it can get really warm, even late at night its quite hot. I dont want water cooling and trying to keep away from more fans/noise.

Thanks for your input mrrad1951, this is gonna be my dream machine and its a lot of money to me, and there will be no upgrades in any near future!

Yeah saw that in the other thread as well. That mobo only mentions xfire support so does that mean no SLI? If so better to stick an AMD card in.

I would probably ask for a more powerful PSU also as only a few pounds more but future proofs it a bit better.

Hi P1Fanatic i was after the Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3X 3072MB in this build, have been looking at monitors too, maybe change the 27" 1920/1080 for a 24" monitor...im not that up on monitors but from what i have read people saying that it looks blocky 27" at 1920/180....also read people saying its not hat bad hmmm

It's ok for the overclock to be on 24/7. The way it works is it ramps up only when your doing something like playing a game or using photoshop etc. when your surfing the internet or when the computer is idle it goes right down and clocks around 1600mhz and the voltage drops so stays cool. I overclocked mine this way but I'm sure thats the way they do it also its called "offset mode" Ive had my water cooling around 18 months and its no problem , its a sealed unit and easier to clean than a traditional heatsink because there is no dust except around the fans and radiator so you never have to mess around near the cpu at all to clean..;)

Thanks for the info mrrad1951, Ive never had an OC`d machine before, i know they run hotter and the same machine would probably run hotter in the room it will be in than if it were in a room on the the other side of the house that doesn't catch the sun.

Its the gaming/video/photoshop on a hot summers night that worries me, it does get like an oven sometimes in the room the comp will be in.Maybe im worrying about nothing.
If im gonna get this monster machine from anywhere its gonna be here, I have read a lot on here and the customer care/forum feedback seems great and seems a lot of happy folks.

Tbh if your into gaming and I mean fast FPS like BF3 and MW then I would go for a better spec 120hz 24".
Click to expand...

Yeah FPS is important to me thats why i went for a 1ms monitor. I see a couple of BenQ 120hz in the 24" monitor section but not any others?.... how much gain will i get with 120hz? Any monitor you recommend?


I would like a monitor with rich natural colours...i will be watching movies and doing some graphic stuff as well as gaming...im no FPS game PRO...but fps does count to an extent

For the PC or monitor or both? Would be intested to see how you find it as around the spec I would be looking at later this year.

Order for both, i`ll update on how the machine is and monitor.

I have chosen win 7 and just noticed it comes with panda pre-installed....I dont want panda installed ...my order says in warehouse Queue..hmmm
 
Sorry for no replies, i have had mad grief with my connection on the new machine (NOT THE MACHINES FAULT!!!), when i installed the motherboard software/drivers it didnt like the order i installed them, first thought it was the driver....so un-installed it and re-installed it...(nope)....new cat5 (nope)...driver all there..lookin fine (as far as not havin a hazzard on it in the list lol), to cut a long story short...went round the houses and thought...i`ll re-install windows and the lot...nothing else worked so why not....one of the installations off the MB disc killed my connection for some reason, so i rolled back to try switch the order......bingo worked....

The machine is really quiet (to me anyways)
I never had an inside of a case soooo tidy, its just freakin peachy how tidy it is, i love this machine...i really do.
Real tidy, real quiet and runs cool, the cooler does a great job thanks overclockers. (that was a worry to me).
My experience with Overclockers has been a good one, spoke to them a few times and they have been really helpfull with the connection woes i had, guy from overclockers said he would send me a net card out to get an internet connection to try update the bios because it may be that and he didnt want to leave me without a machine when all thats needed is a bios flash. So i`ll be sending the card back to them, dont need it and good of them to offer.(top guy)

Oh yeah the MB is now the ASUS, i am happy with it, my last couple of machines had ASUS boards and i never had grief with them, its actually the board i was looking at vs the GB board, either was cool with me.

The machine didn`t have Panda antivirus installed either, installed windows myself.

The graphics card ( Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3X 3072MB) has the duel-link interface and cable included...which is needed to get the 120hz/144hz refresh rate out of the monitor (BenQ XL2411T 24" TRUE 120Hz) and it is smooth

The case is the BitFenix Raider

Thanks again Overclockers, you built me my dream machine, it gives me a massive sausage!!!
