[tato999]

Im want to buy a......

Intel C2D E6600

memory Corsair
--TWIN2X2048-6400C4
Or this one
--TWIN2x2048-8500C5D

Im not sure is it worth to pay for to much for the memory comparing to the perfomance

And in mobo Im thinkig of the GIGABYTE GA-965P -ds3 or

The ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS 650i or

The ASUS P5N32-E SLI 680i or

the Intel BOXD975XBX2KR

Please I would apreciate so much your help Im on a budget and Im from venezuela, so I'll have to buy it in amazon,
my budget is max600$ for CPU, memory and mobo

Cuz I alredy have a EVGA 8800gts320mb and thermaltake thougpower 700w

Im looking for a mobo that i can use very good for a least 4 years or so
So it have to be new an good

Also if you could suggest me some coling devices so i want to OC my system

Depends: If you can afford good ram & you're going to overclock, get the better ram & DS3. Otherwise, get brand name value ram + 650i. i.e. MSI P6N-SLI.

If you're not overclocking, get the cheapest brand name ram + DS3.

6600, DS3, and 6400 RAM. You don't really need the 8500 with the 9x multiplier on the 6600.

I would agree, again, some won't listen to good advice. Us overclockers know what we need to get where. Noobs come on & see wow Corsair I love I love must get bling...

thank you very much so I dont really need the 8500mem, with the 6400c4 is enough but like I told you Im from venezuela and I can only buy in amazon and the only mem availables there are corsair, and OCZ that are not recomended.

Also I would like you to tell me what colling fans should I use

Thermaltake Big Typhoon CL-P0114 12cm 4-in-1 Heatpipe Cooling Solution Fan for Intel P4 LGA 775 and AMD K7/K8

or

Scythe INFINITY 5Heat Pipes CPU Cooler #SCINF-1000

I dont know which one is the better and I want to overclock my system

 

[bigblack]

I would go for the Skythe Infinity as i think that it is better overall, allthough if you are on a budget and do not plan to overclock more than 3.2 - 3.4 Ghz, the stock cooler is not a bad solution.

 

[bigblack]

or with this one
http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-Socket-Cooling/dp/B000K3N1QW/ref=sr_1_23/102-5725943-2310567?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179161079&sr=1-23

which is much cheaper and should get you to 3.4 -3.6 with less noise than stock. Good luck.

Scythe.....NOT. Poor mounting mechanism, bulky, not the best performers. Big Typhoon is good, but if you're not heavily overclocking then you can get something more affordable. Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro is lighter with the same mounting mechanism, takes up less space too. It's very cheap here in Canada, but waaaaaay overpriced in the U.S. So depends what you can find for your budget.

Post a quick list of the stuff that's available in your area (and pricing) and we'll give you the best option.

--The Gigabyte Intel P965 GA-965P-DS3 Motherboard but I dont know what revision is this and if the revision is very important? :?

Why not get a The ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS 650i instead of P965? When new games for Dx10 arrive, your GTS might start failing you and with SLI you can add another one, beating a single 8800 GTX silly... ?
