Ok this will be my 4th build, but my first use of Intel. i want somthing with a kick that will overclock nicely. I am also looking for tips and genral info on overclocking. To start with i will be using air, but will hopfully switch to water in the near future. I have come up with what i think will be reasonable, and as my budget isn't to large this is what i come up with... CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz MOBO Asus P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP RAM 2GB OCZ Gold XTC Series DDR2 Dual Channel Kit Hard Drive 250GB Maxtor DiamondMax I think these prices are reasonable but please let me know what you think... Any recomendatioins for WC supplies welcome. =] Thanks - Josh
Change the motherboard to a P35-based motherboard, like an Asus P5K for example. Change the hard drive to this: http://www.cclonline.com/product-in...gory_id=112&manufacturer_id=0&tid=st3250410as Otherwise, it looks good to me!
unless of course you are thinkin of doin sli in the future, agree with oasked get a seagate...10, cant really help you in the WC department but i'm sure most others can
Switch a P35 board, and see if you can get an E6750 instead, They are not much more, but better overclockers.
