Power supply?

If you are interested in overclocking, which CPU cooler are you going to get?

 

[SnaKe0001]

I would like to buy a Rocket fish 700W 26mamp with a 120mm fan.

What are you recomanding for the CPU cooler?

Get the Q6000 G0 stepping for OC.

Refer here for more information: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/243904-28-what-stepping

Basically, the G0 has less bugs and a lower power usage; this makes it more stable and cooler for over clocking.

Newbie to newbie:
1. Do you care how quiet your computer is?
2. Need more disk space? I'd go for a nice fast 500GB or 750GB HD unless you want to spring for a Raptor.
3. Can you find a good deal on DDR2-1066 memory? I got in on a good deal on a pair of Crucial Ballistix for $89 after rebate. Having the extra headroom makes it easy for me to overclock without having to fiddle with the ratios too much.
3. General advice: rather than build something to last 4-5 years, I'd go for "cheap and disposable" and upgrade something or other every year or two. That said, the Q6600 is great; Mobo is fantastic but if it were me I'd either go cheaper or get a hybrid DDR2/DDR3 board; I love my eVGA 8800GTs.

Ok, very intersting. Can you give me more information and help on my future PC?.

Can I overclock without buy a CPU cooler?

With regard to the hard disk, I dont put alot of information and programs. I have already have a hard disk of 80g. Thats why I buy a 320g.
But this hard disk is fast or I can in bought faster?

thx Marc

Can I overclock without buy a CPU cooler?

I'm currently OC'ing my E4300 to 3ghz on stock cooling, but I don't know anyone who would overclock a quad with stock cooling. You can get a nice HSF for <$50 and since you're paying $300 for your CPU, I think a better HSF is a wise investment.

For reference, my E4300 was 114 USD. I still intend to get a Ninja Mini for it when that HSF becomes available.
