Greetings experts,
I am trying to spec a new build quiet PC for my bedroom. I would like to be in a position to overclock one day, but my primary concern is noise levels, leading to my choice of components below.
Given I would like to overclock, can someone recommend me some memory (8GB) for the system, also considering noise? Are the rest of my components ok together? Prices below are in UK Pounds.
Case: Zalman GS1200 Professional Full Tower Enclosure - £180
PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 650W 80PLUS Modular PSU - £100
CPU: Core 7i 2600K - £240
Cooler: Zalman CNPS10X QUIET Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler - £40
Paste: AS5 3.5g, High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound - £5
Motherboard: Asustek P8P67 PRO - £140
SSD: Crucial 256Gb C300 - £350
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti SC - £195
The above comes to a total of around ~£1,250, leaving me with some cash to get decent memory and some 3.5" storage. What memory should I be looking at to get this rig running at over 4 Ghz?
Thanks folks!
