Hi,After years of stashing my pocket money I could finally be able to make a build all by myself!!!

My new build doesn't have those sparks..but I guarantee it is very amusing to study it.
As to myself,a ultra low cost gaming rig is always a true challenge to build.
I state my build below:-
Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHz 800FSB 2MB L2 cache
Asus P5K-VM DG33 Intel Chipset
3*1GB Transcend DDR 2 RAM 800 FSB
Xfx nvidia 8800 GS Alpha Dog XXX Edition 384 MB GDDR3 @680MHz
Hitachi 160 GB Deskstar 160GB 7200rpm
Thermaltake TR2 420W P.S.U
Space Gamerz Casing
Asus DVD+RW 20x
Asus VW193T 19" LCD Monitor @1440x900
I am using a modded Vista Ultimate Edition(Please feel free to contact me about this wonderful [email protected][email protected])
My whole rig cost me only $ 400!!!
I have OC'ed my cpu to 3.00 GHz 32.c idle and 65.c full load(300 FSB*10 Clock,1.475 Volts)
I need some help for my cpu cooler...
Where I stay it is quite difficult to get aftermarket stock coolers...
Could anyone help me out???

1. non specifics for the chipset, so I assume it's 775
2. generalized bulk statement w/ offer of modded os software, not good, man
3. inclusion of email addy. no. that's for PMs. get a feel for the server and if someone is interested in helping or talking, you're sure to get a bite. just be sure to keep things appropriate and free flowing positively as possible.
4. aftermarket cooling can be accomplished one of two ways, considering your dialogue about your situation.

Option A - You earn enough money yourself for a conversion, and legitimately pay someone ahead of time to purchase products through an online bargain.

Option B - You find a company willing to ship products to your country, with your own money, or whatever you have as far as shipping arrangements, and purchase the items yourself, getting resolve through your own means.

Oh, and welcome on OCN, new member.

Thanks,but in my bios post they show "DDR2 800 Dual Channel Asymetric Mode".What is that?
See less See more
means that two sticks are running in dual channel->meaning there in the same colored ram slot on your motherboard and one is in a different colored slot so it wont be dual channeled, which you cant dual channel 3 sticks anyways. Also Asymmetric mode means that your memory is running in partly Single and Partly Symmetric mode, which I just explained to you. Need any more help please let us know.

Go with the E5200 instead, it's only $72.
For ram, go with either 2 stick or 4 sticks, only Core i7 uses Tri-channel ram.
I would get a more powerful PSU, 500w is minimum for most new rigs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171031 Cooler Master 500w $39.
As for cpu cooler, the Xigmatek S1283 is good and pretty cheap.

Of the 3 coolers that you listed, I would go with the AC Freezer Pro, and secondly, the Asus V60.

The Arctic Freezer Pro 7 has a higher cfm (stock), but the Asus has more mass.
Neither variable is necessarily indicative of better performance, but both are elements to consider.
