I used 4x2GB of that memory and had zero issues with stability while OCing the snot out of my E8400 / Q9650.

I might actually get a 775 board that works with DDR3 given the prices are almost completely leveled out. A 4GB kit of DDR2 1066 costs roughly the same as a 4GB kit of DDR2 1600-2000 now :/

Actually, for the price of that build, it would be cheaper/same to go i5...

Ya you can cut your cpu price in half with an i5 and and another $20 or so for the mobo.That's the way I would go if I were you.

Can I build a i7 machine for the price of what i posted.

wilkinsb01

for this price get ati 5850 and intel Q9550 and save money

Yea you need to go with something else at that price. As for one your fixing to do a new system and buy everything new. But yet you're going with a older socket.

Now don't get me wrong with the socket 775 there is nothing wrong with it. But if your going to buy all that new buy a new platform and then you will have a better upgrade path in the future.

Also not sure but have you checked the for sale threads, if you are intent on going the 775 route. You could save a good amount of cash that way buying stuff used. Some prefer new and i'm not knocking that. But someone maybe going i7, i5 or amd route and is selling a 775 system for a good price.

i have to agree with KILLER K on buying used.
i got my new setup all used,after selling my i7
and i5 rigs.wanted to try out the new platforms
but for OCing i found them boring.LGA775 i find
just more fun to tweak.my setup is almost identical
to what you posted and its a great OCing setup.
heres what my setup can do.
Q9650+UD3P+corsairTX750

as for memory i recommend getting G.skill's 2x2gb pc9600 Pi
thats what ill be getting very soon.they easily do ddr2-1300+

but if thats too much the pc8800 Pi's are great too.

but going i5 is also a good route too.few things to keep in mind though
being that 1156 is new and the first batches of cpu's seem to require
quite a lot of vcore(like i7-920 CO's did)for OCing and there isnt alot
of information for help.where as the EP45-UD3P/R's has threads in every
forum with a wealth of info for OCing.any question you would ever have
has an answer somewhere.
