Hey guys, you must be getting bored of all these post-xmas rig threads, but just one more shouldn't hurt. After all the PSU/gfx problems I'm now considering selling all the signature rig to part-chop to this:

Look ok?

Cheers,

Top spec otherwise though :cool:

Exactly, that DFI mobo is the 975X chipset, the E6300 are known for clocking better on the 965P chipset such as the Gigabyte DS3.

Apart from that, looks like a solid spec with a good choice of PSU.

Ok guys, thanks for the chipset info - I've not had an intel for some time so I'm unfamiliar with their solutions.

Gigabyte GA_965P_DQ6 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

a good choice?

Yea that mobo is fine, could save yourself a few quid by purchasing the DS3, the model above has a few differences heatpipe cooling and mainly CrossFire support. So if you want those things buy the DQ6 if not, the DS3 does an amazing job.
