Yep, that is IC Diamond 7.

You should definitely get that over anything else.

Alright, AC7 it is! +Rep.

Memory changed once again though, there seem to be issues with this board and 1600MHz memory, so I've switched to 1333MHz OCZ platinum low voltage memory. Optimized for AM3 so it should be very good: http://www.perfect-systems.nl/comput...num-lv-c7.html

Dutch website, but the product description is in English.

One last question concerning memory. As stated above this board seems to have problems with 1600MHz memory, so what would be the best then. Get 1600MHz memory anyway and run it at 1333MHz, or just get 1333MHz memory? Or doesn't it really matter?

If there is really no price difference get the 1600 RAM and underclock it, then you can have some really tight timings that'll give you a nice performance boost.

Alright, will do. So, the final build will be:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black @ 3.2
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
RAM: OCZ Platinum 1600MHz AMD Low Voltage 4GB (2GBx2)
HDD: 300GB VelociRaptor
PSU: Cooler Master Real Power Pro 700w Modular
GPU: Point of View GTX275
Monitor: Samsung T240
Case: Lian Li PC-A7010b

TIM will be AC7. CPU will be cooled with a Megahalems with two Scythe S-Flex SFF21G in Push/Pull.

Thanks for all the help, looking forward to building this one =)

Looks to be a nice build. But why are you getting am Nvidia card? Have you considered getting an ATi 4890? It'll be better for gaming than the 275 and since the board is a crossfire board you'll be able to get another one later on and get some really awesome performance.

I will switch to ATI and CrossFire lateron indeed, however, I already own a GTX 275. I was thinking of keeping this one until DX11 cards come out, and also to limit the cost of the system right now. Would the 275 be enough to run the games for now @ 1900 x 1200, or will it have problems? (Lets asume I'm not running Crysis ) Thanks for the heads up though ^.^

BlackOmega

No problem,
The 275 is a good card, and it shouldn't have issues running most games fully maxed out. At that resolution you might run into some issues if you try to max AA in very demanding games or ones that are poorly coded. Crysis and GTA4 come to mind.
Other than that you should be all set.

Good Luck
