    vendeta 2 is a good cpu cooler, but ocz ram is generally bad, liek the reapers, those are powerchips and way overpriced usually, u dont need over 1066mhz ram for that build with ocing

    kk cheers that ram i listed is $114 which is cheap for ram @ that speed in aus.. ( i was also looking this ram aswell)

    Also he doesn't want to upgrade for at least 18months would he be better off with a 620w psu? so when he does upgrade his gfx he wont need a new PSU

    edit: looked @ the price of ocz reaper 1066 and its $10 more how does that work?
