Solution
Yes definitely. If youre not going to overclock though, p67 and 2500k are a huge waste of money. Better off going with i5-2400 and H61 if youre not overclocking.
Well youve already chosen most of the stuff important for gaming, just add 8GB of RAM and a ~550W PSU and youre pretty much set i think. Just one thing, it's reccomended to stick to known brands for these, for RAM try G.Skill, Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin. For PSU's, Corsair, Antec, OCZ, XFX, Seasonic.

well i'm in sri lanka now there's a shortage of hardware here
so i'm going with a
core i5 2500
intel P67 motherboard
G.Skill ripjaws-x 4GB (2*2GB) Ram @1333MHz
Evga GTX 460 SC (i can't find a normal 460 or a 470 so I'm gonna have to overclock it i read some reviews n after you OC it's pretty much the same)
Inwin Fanqua mid tower ATX case
Inwin commander 750W PSU

n i'm not going to OC the CPU, will the stock cooler for the CPU be enough to keep it cool?

Hey yo! :bounce: Sri Lanka is where it's at! You haven't looked hard enough!


Go ask Redline. They had the following on offer.

i5 2500.
Asus P67 (not sure the exact model but cost around 25k). H67 costs around 20k, which might be a better option if you don't OC.
They got the whole range of Corsair memory - 4 gigs of XMS3 1600MHz costs like under 7k.
GTX560Ti for 30k (I'm sure you're getting the GTX460SC from TZ for the same price).
A range of CM coolers starting at 3k for the Hyper 212+.


Try giving em a buzz. :kaola:

Hey thanks i'll give them a buzz i heard they are good, i looked all over PCH, TZ, Barclys, etc but i couldn't find a single P67 after market n the ones that I've found are way more overpriced series processor that's why i choose to go with something a little less expensive now n buy a good one later....... :ange:
