    Hello all
    Just checking before I hit the confirm purchase button on the following build:-

    - 2500K
    - MSI P67A-G45
    - 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance LP , PC3-12800 (1600), CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP,1.5V
    - Gelid Tranquillo Rev.2 Heatpipe PWM, Silent Fan

    A few points of note;
    -I am not into SLI
    -From what I have read this motherboard should overclock just as well as the GD53?
    -I realise that the Be Quiet Dark would be a slightly better cooler, but is also double the price of the Gelid so it will do.

    These bits are replacing my E8400 on a Asus P5K and 4Gb Ram. I am keeping my GTX 460.

    Thanks very much:clap:
