Almost there...

[dennisrathi]

Alright after some searching...I have compiled a list of some stuff that I will be getting
https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.asp?ID=7476912

What I dont know what to get is :
good OC ram? (4g)
a good heatsink / some sort of cooling to OC the cpu?
a good powersupply. The last one I ordered (5 years ago) had to be sent back because it went out on the first startup..

Also, if you have any different suggestions list them.
thanks.

You need to check share on your wish list listings, can't view them.
Here's a heatsink that's getting a lot of good reviews;

[Monsterpuff]

I cannot see your wishlist, as you have it as your saved. that means I cannot tell you what ram id recommend, Tuniq Tower for your heatsink/fan

Power supply, again, id need to look at your components to see what yah need

EDIT: the xigmatek is indeed getting some great reviews, no personal experience with it however.

Some thoughts on how good that xigmatek is

[dennisrathi]

going with 1 500gb hd and 2 disk drives

I have the xigmatek, it is extremely good for its price. My q6600 is at 3.5 ghz with 60c full load.

 

[onewayflight]

Which model of the xigmatek do you have PingPong?
I'm impressed with the brand now, and have been looking closley at their liquid-cooling product.

 

[Asian PingPong]

HDT-S1283, the same thing suggested earlier.

 

[dennisrathi]

Whats some good ram for OC's? And do you guys think I'll have trouble fitting all of it in that cube case?

 

[chuckm]

Are you going with 4 gig of ram? If so, get 2X2, Corsair or G.Skill. I don't know about that case, I don't see it having good airflow, never used it so I could be wrong. Go with the Corsair VX550 PSU unless you modular, then go with this one, it's a good deal here;

How does this look?

 

[chuckm]

Get this power supply, best one under 500 watt.
http://www.buy.com/prod/Corsair-VX-450w-Power-Supply/q/loc/101/205466485.html
Get the SATA DVD burner, it's only $4 more.

[night_wolf_in]

cooler. either get the thermalright 120 (forgot the name). or the zalman cnps9700led/nt. both are good choice.

 

[amd_fanboi]

i second Night's opinion

 

[dennisrathi]

I think I could save some more money if I bought a cheaper case? Ive searched for good cases but couldnt really find any bargain ones? I basically just want a plain black one with a window like the lan li I chose but something cheaper would help.

 

[HamRadio]

you looked at the antec 900 or the antec P182 cases?

the Antec 900 is good if you are OCing as it has 3 120mm fans and 1 200mm fan on the top.

the antec P182 is also good at cooling, and is quieter.

they both have gone on sale every few months at newegg. I got the 900 before x-mas for $55ish, and the P182 about a month ago for $59ish.

If you like your PC to have a blue glow get the 900. If you don't want to see or hear your PC the P182 might be your cup of tea.

 

[chuckm]

Night and AMD, you guys made good suggestions on a cooler but you need to check the Xigmatek out. It's been overseas for a while and the reviews have been great. Not trying to start anything, just like to show everybody new stuff if I find it. Here's their website, check the reviews.
http://www.xigmatek.com/product/air-hdts1283.php
I think it's hard to beat at newegg's price.

 

[dennisrathi]

Antec 900 for 50 bucks? its listed at 120 atm

 

[HamRadio]

these are from the free newegg newsletter I suggested above that you should join:

Antec P182 Case for $59.99 after rebates

Antec 900 for $49.99 after rebates

Good Luck with your build

the Coolermaster CM690 goes on CHEAP sales over at Microcenter pretty often lately. just last month i saw them as low as $20. if you're looking for a good case CHEAP, that's probably your best bet.
