umm
Your shopping cart is empty.

[ComputerGuy87]

try now

[SaFrOuT]

move them to ur wish list and then share it

or spend 3 min and list them here, cause directing to another link is not something very pleasing

[ComputerGuy87]

moved to wishlist sorry about that

[SaFrOuT]

share them now and give us the link please

[ComputerGuy87]

the links seems not to work so i have post the items

[SaFrOuT]

when r u planing to buy those items

since in a couple fo weeks DFI R600 will be out beside new generation of P965 from ASUS and Gigabyte, they are all supsoed to be mad overclockers and for sure better than that buggy 680i

also i prefer buying the E6600 and saving around 190$ which can be invisted in a better vga card like the 8800GTx or wait for AMD ( ATI ) new vga in the near future

and about the ram maybe u want to check this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=124283) for more cheaper option for the ram

also which PSU will u be using ?

[ComputerGuy87]

it problay wont be till jan - feb till i can buy it so i migth wait plus with the cpu i dont have the frist idea how to overclock or i would buy a cheap setup that overclockes better and for psu i was thing of ENERMAX GALAXY or something along those line

FTR, you can't link to your shopping cart.

[SaFrOuT]

since it will be atleast a month from now, i sugest that u start reading about OverClocking ( which will only take few days to be good enough in it ) , and come back when u r ready to buy ur stuff

since the coming few weeks will se lots of new hardware as i mentioned above ( new mobos and chipsets ) beside an Intel price-cut in Jan

e6600, p5b DLX, 8800gts
firestix, team, gskill instead of the ballistix.
if your a noob at overclocking, i highly suggest you get p5b dlx. depends on how much you'll overclock, since the 680i strap is less harassing.

[ComputerGuy87]

ok thanks for the head up all so can u give me any good links to guide for overclocking so i can start reading

[SaFrOuT]

i think this is not bad

a fried of mine made it few days ago

[ComputerGuy87]

thanks read the guide to try it but seems like the p5p800 is not very good for overclocking with

[Snatch]

E6600 + 8800 GTX. Much better combo.

[ComputerGuy87]
