Thats all this website had for this speed, I didn't set out looking for 6gb of ram way to much imo.

drop the motherboard for a cheaper gigabyte one, waste of money what you're picking
the memory's speed can also be lower if you think of dropping money for a better gfx
case - antec nine hundered / cooler master haf 932

Which gigabyte motherboard is decent? Im not sure how they name their motherboards like with asus they name them Deluxe xtream etc..


Edit:

i changed my mind about the processor and am gonna get an Intel Core i7 920 instead

Also would the choice of ram effect the motherboard?

am looking at this ram now http://www.memoryc.ie/products/description/4GB_OCZ_DDR3_PC3_16000_Flex_EX_Series_2000MHz-8_8_8-Dual_Channel_kit/index.html

im not familiar with the core i5 motherboards, it's too new, and with core i7 you can only use triple kit, which means3gb,6gb,9gb and so on

ahh I didn't no that, I presumed that triple channel was something to do with speed even tho i should of known from double channel memory.

Depends on what vid card he's gonna take. I got a 4890 and i should need a 600W Power supply.

Domi 16 Sep 2009, 21:17

550W is the best to buy, will manage to hold any card except for the overpriced i may say geeky x2 cards :o

Domi 16 Sep 2009, 21:37

you don't

The box kinda says otherwise, but as said in my previous comments my 420W is doing great aswell.

duumed 17 Sep 2009, 15:25
what the box says applies to shit power supplies which, even though they claim to have high power output, can't give enough power to the card because of unstability in 12V lines or other stuff.

core i7-965 + hd4870X2 system draws 422W in load meaning with a quality brand psu you really don't need that high watt readings
