Opinions about my build

[dashieen]

Is this build worth the money? Or is there some better parts price/performace wise?

SPECS:

Core i5 I5-750 8 MB (Intel Boxed)
ASUS P7P55D PRO
Corsair Dominator 2 x 2 GB (1600mhz) cl8
2 x XFX Radeon HD 4890 (Crossfire)
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB
Corsair TX750W
Noctua NH-U12P
Cooler Master HAF 932

Feel free to criticize

not to much wrong with it although you might want to look into getting 1 5870 for more future proofness, and also look at this RAM:

G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBECO -

and

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH -

both of those will save money and outperform or be equal in performance. also take a peak at these mobos but yours is fine.

Okay, thanks. Is there such a big diffrence between my dominator and the ripjaws. If yes, why?

 

[Guest]

there isn't a massive difference but the ripjaws are 7-7-7-24 and the corsair are 8-8-8-24, and the ripjaws are .05 volts less, and depending on what set you are using the rip jaws also cost less.

 

[dashieen]

Okay. Thanks.
Would the gigabyte or the asus mobo be best for overclocking?
(hoping to reach 4ghz stable)

i would put my money on the asus, based on its specs, but i haven't used either so i cant be entirely sure. also you might want to look at

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231318

it is 1333MHz ram, but it is 7-7-7-20 and 1.35 volts, so there is some big overclocking possibility help there.

Instead of getting 2 4890's I'd get a single 5870. It's only a bit more, you can expand it later, and it'll run faster on games without crossfire support.

I'd also bump up the power supply to 850w.
