Case - Antec 900
Cpu - Intel Core 2 Duo e6300
Cooling - Scythe Infinity probably with AS5
Mobo- Gigabyte DS3
Ram - G.Skill 2x1gig pc2 6400 4-4-3-5 timings
Psu - Corsair 620w HX modular
Video Card - undecided
Hard Drives - 1 74gb Raptor, 1 500gb WD
This is my first build. Got some practice by taking apart a custom computer I ordered online several years ago then putting it back together. Put some as5, and did a really good job with cable management. Need some thoughts on those who have similar builds. I will be overclocking to about 2.8-3.1ghz. Got the 6300 through Intel purchase program. Ive read tons of stuff about the DS3 and it looks like its perfect for me, but then I saw 965 Asus board similar in price that overclocks well now too. If I can get some pointers or recommendations, that would be great. Also, any other good ram choices? The Gskill I selected had the lowest timings and overclock great. Love the site. Thanks
