My 1600mhz G.skill overclocks to 1900mhz 8-9-9-24 and even 2133mhz with loose timings. So it must just be the 1333mhz ram thats shite.

And Jbunch, dont be so persuadable, you shouldn't just take every single person's opinion like its a hard fact, do some research, wait for other people's opinions etc.. always take everything on the internet with a grain of salt, including this.

Since he choose the 1333MHZ set, and i have that set I just gave him advice, although the memory has tight timings and low voltage it doesn't overclock well.

They're low profile too- no fit issues if you do go with a D-14 cooler

This is the psu I currently have should I just keep this one? I think I might.

LagunaX · Feb 23, 2012, 03:26 AM

That is 80 plus and good for sli or Xfire and good for 900w actually.
Yeah, no reason to upgrade from that unless you really wanted modular or gold/platinum.

Honestly, I had one of those PSUs and it was a tank! I would keep it for your build and save money for something else.

Dude you gotta take those stickers off, wrecks some otherwise sweet looking ram!

Norton · Feb 26, 2012, 09:10 PM

@jbunch07

FYI- I'm doing the build in the Silverstone PS-07 right now and was able to stuff ALL of the wiring of a Corsair TX 750 (non-modular) behind the mobo tray... the only wiring showing is/are the ends of the connectors

You would have to try real hard mess up cable management on this case, I don't even think it's possible

One caution on these two Silverstone models- use non-modular PSU's only as there is limited room between the PSU and optical drive.

Another plus on these- you can put a graphics card in almost as long as the case itself. This would fit a 4870X2, 5970, or a 6990 with the big AC cooler no problem.

Will put up a few pics in a couple of hours

Thanks Norton but I've decided to go with a different route for the case log coming soon!

So this is what I ended up with.

MEM:
Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM D...

GPU:
TO be decided once 78xx comes out
Intel hd 3000 until then

PSU:
750w PC Power and Cooling

Monitor:
Samsung Syncmaster T240HD 1920x1200

Cooling:
Will be a custom loop with a Swiftech MCP655-B pump, 240 Radiator and a Apogee GTZ water block.

I will have 4 of these fans cooling the case prob 2 on rad and 2 on the other side of the case. XIGMATEK XLF-F1253 120mm 4 white LED Orange Case F...
They are decent fans with a unique color, quiet and move a decent amount of air 61cfm iirc.

Still contemplating using a 220mm for an exhaust fan but we'll see.

Over all I think it will be a pretty solid build any thoughts and comments are appreciated but please remember I have already bought this stuff and its on the way so please don't say you should have bought this or don't buy that as it will only make me upset

Thanks
