Hey Guys,
Been reading this forum forever, and am finally getting around to building my new computer its been forever. I have most of the parts picked out, and I plan to do a large overclock (300FSB or greater) eventually! Here is what I am looking at:
Case: Antec P180
CPU: E4300
Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 (with Sycthe S-Flex 1600RPM Fan)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
HD: 2xSeagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB (Possibly More for RAID)
Graphics: XFX GeForce 8800 GTS XXX 580MHZ 320MB 1.8GHZ (Possibly get base model and OC myself)
The 2 concerns I have are over my PSU and RAM
I am still deciding if I should get either:
Mushkin XP2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL 4-4-3-10
http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=13000BD7763
OR
OCZ Platinum XTC REV.2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-15
http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=13220BD3804&vpn=OCZ2P800R22GK&manufacture=OCZ
The difference being the OCZ is almost 100 dollars cheaper from directcanada.com, or for that matter anywhere I look, is there a problem with this OCZ RAM? Is there something I am missing?
For my PSU I am just looking for suggestions as to what is a good PSU with long enough cables for the P180? I was originally looking at:
OCZ GameXStream 600W or 700W but have heard the the cables were not long enough. Are these PSU Cables long enough or should I look at something like the:
Enermax Liberty ELT620AWT 620W
Anyway, any help or suggestions you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance
