Hi Am thinking of building a top spec system and want some advice: Coolermaster Stacker (already got) 850w power supply 2 x 8800gtx Graphics Cards (768mb) Q9550 CPU MB-N790-IUL9, NF790i Ultra 3 Way SLi MCP, S775, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), DDR3 1066/2000/800, SATA II (xfx m/b) 4GB (2x2GB) CorsairTwinX XMS3, DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600),240 Pin, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, DHX Creative Soundblaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer PCI 7.1 Channel Dell 2408 monitor Other bits im ok with but can anyone see any drawbacks etc. Many thx for any help. PS What do you think i should safely be able to overclock this to. Disco
Spare no expense. The only drawback is I don't get to play with it.
Where are the DVD writer & hard disk(s)?

1600 / 2 = 800 * 8.5 = 6800 or 6.8ghz theoretical overclock.
$100 bucks say you can't. Unless you got LN2/DICE/phase.

My guess is on air the cpu can hit up to 4.2 safely:
500 x 8.5 = 4250
Or conservatively:
400 x 8 = 3.2 ghz probably on the stock cooler
Where's the aftermarket cpu cooler? How much can you spend on one?
What is the use of the machine?

Thx for the advice.............
Get a 64 bit OS or your 4GB of ram will go to waste.
For gamin' currently dual cores wud be better so make your choice accordingly!
This one is pretty good. About the same as TRUE. 19 vs 32 quid. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Pro [...] tID=700899 http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/c [...] html#sect0 The rest are good.
