Plans for a new rig

[Sheepish]

Having heard that ram prices wont be falling back to normal anytime this year i decided to go ahead and price up a system without my planned XMS2 PC6400.

Using Overclockers.co.uk and Scan.co.uk I have drawn up the following :
[code:1:92e3547be6]
£47 Thermaltake Soprano Case
£50 Enermax Liberty 400W
£127 E6300 OEM
£33 Zalman 9500 HSF LED
£97 DS3
£164 G.Skill C5 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400
£127 OcUK GeForce 7900 GS
[/code:1:92e3547be6]
That comes to £645. I already have hdd, dvd drives and monitor.

Now... since I plan on maximising my value for money and overclocking a good bit... questions...

-> how does the G.Skill C5 PC6400 match up to the XM2 C5 PC6400 I can no longer really afford?

-> My plans for a P5W or P5B went out the window too but ive seen a lot of threads here featuring DS3 and guess they must be stable and good oc potential right?

-> 400W Enermax should be enough? I like the idea of the modular

-> The Thermaltake Soprano Case, anyone know if it had a side window or not? or are there differening versions? OC.co.uk shows it without a window but the link to Thermaltakes site shows one with a window... I want to see the sexy Zalman cooler inside but not by paying £25 for a side window >.<


Thanks guys

I'll be swapping out the Enermax for this, same price \o/

I noticed Thermaltakes case naming system and the one on OcUK has no window and I cant find anywhere that stocks the BWS or SWS in the uk :/
