Comments on my first build (i7 920) - Overclock.net

kaetar · 07-09-09

Hi,

This is the first build I'll ever be putting together. I am aiming for something (relatively) cheap, stable, and durable (would like it to last at least 2 years.) I'll be OCing to a mild ~3.4 or 3.6 GHz 24/7.

CPU + Motherboard: i7 920 and GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R

GPU: EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB

RAM: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 750 GB

PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W

Case: Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Cooler: Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283V

Optical Drive: LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM

My only concerns right now are the quality of the motherboard (don't need SLI or any similar features, but cheap motherboards have so many DOA reviews on newegg....) and the noise level of the Antec 300.

So... thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? I'd really appreciate it.

Doesn't the G.Skill one have better timings though?
