hi all :P

I need to say I'm not a computer master :)

I hope it is wright place for questions like that:)

I building new system and question is it will work fine. :arrow::arrow::arrow::arrow::arrow:

:exclaimIntel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz (Retail), 1333MHz FSB, 4096KB Cache (good construction-good for O.C.)

:exclaimGigabyte GA-P35-DS3R iP35 Express (775), PCI-E (x16), DDR2 1066/1333/800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX (1333mhz on e6750 and thats gigabyte, up to 8gb memory, good for O.C.)

:exclaimOCZ 4GB PC2-6400 Vista Performance Gold (2x2GB) 800MHz (I'm not sure to go for more Mhz but I will stay with ddr2)

:exclaimSapphire ATi Radeon HD 3870 512MB PCI-E (I like ati)


Like i said I think is good set, but please help me in my choice. And one think more. Power supply. 600w its good idea? maybe 500w its fine?

I will he really happy for yours opinions and comments.

Looks good to me. Beware of PSU's. Power output isn't everything. I've written a guide here

http://www.pchardwaresource.co.uk/index.php?view=article&catid=40%3Apchwguide&id=56%3Apsuguide&option=com_content&Itemid=37

that should explain it all. Quality 450W-520W unit should serve well for that setup.

Also, if overclocking, look into a CPU cooler for it other than the one that comes with the CPU

thanks for tips

I was planning to go in to:
Aria Gamer DarkStar 500w Case (WINPOWER ATX 500W (20+4) ... (arias customers they like it that case - and it have nice-not show off design)


otherwise some other atx without 'manufactures' psu.. I think to put inside heart from OCZ - 600W StealthXStream PSU (it have lots of +++ on the web)

First I will see how with works on vista - and maybe I will wait with non Intel cooling system and overclocking until I will be need it that extra booster :lol:. I wish to use that configuration for years in good order, not push to the limits straight away.:P

small problem is with nice cooling system from aria. empty stocks:cry:

maybe something from e buyer .com
http://.../product/136637 (http://www.******.com/product/136637)
http://.../product/140478 (http://www.******.com/product/140478) thats my winner Zalman

I'm really in to 'heat pipe technology' possibly with 100% cooper finishing, but i really don't know what to do with that

and I hope to manage it to put all parts together 8)

Good choice of PSU.

Overclocking wise, I don't see why you'd want to leave that till later. Getting the max overclock out of your system won't have any adverse effects (doesn't affect lifespan).

No competitors allowed on the forum by the way.

The Zalmans are alright but not amazing. I liked their VF700 and VF900 GPU coolers but the CPU coolers are overrated. It's not even an opinion because they simply are.

My recommendations include the Tuniq Tower 120, Thermalright Ultra 120 and Thermalright Ultima 90. For something similar to the Zalman, something like an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro
