Default New Build (first Intel) aprox £1500 ($2800)

These are the bits I ordered yesterday for about my 24ish computer build, and as allways it ***** scary, hopeing nothing will need to be rma'd
Hope you think these are fairly well matched for a future proof-ish 1650-1000 gaming machine running vista

I allready have a seasonic S12 psu and a good cool case

Edit, It says i ordered 64 bit vista, but i actually ordered 32bit lol

++++++++++++

My missus is letting me spend a little more YAY, so i've changed the dvd drive hear listed to the 112 instead of the 111 so i can now read AND burn dvd-rams and i saved another £20 buy odereing the speakers else where.

Big question is i will have about £300 to spend and i fancy building my own case outa perspex (bespoke size/shape) and getting a decent water cooling rig in there (something with 2x triple 120mm rads and water blocks for the cpu/2xchips/graphs and maybe the mofets or mem.

Can this much be done with £300 and what gear should i get?

The TT120 probably would have been a better choice for the CPU cooler.

Agreed. The tuniq tower is the best cpu air cooler out there right now. Try and find a hard drive with a 16m cache rather than the 8mb one that you chose.

Other than that, you got yourself a monster system there

Since i've been on these forums i would have to agree maybe i should have got the tuniq, but the reason i brought the samsung spinpoint is i recently brought one for my dads build, OMG they are completly silent and utterly fast.

BTW whats he best low db fan/fans for the tuniq (i dont want them to be much louder than 22ish db

Regards

it will be a good system, but you could have spent a little less on the ram

I know now, lol since i ordered this overclockers brought the price of 2gig of OCZ pc8500 ram down to £3 cheaper than the dominators, and they use Micron - D9GMH chips too .

Typical.....its out of date before they post it to ya.

lol
