| Re: new build-questions hi, thanks for the reply! yeah, i've read some reviews i think i will change graphics card about the HD,- i came across 1.5TB Samsung HD154UI/Y Spinpoint F2 DT EcoGreen, SATA 3Gb/s, 32MB Cache, 8.9 ms, NCQ considering the +500gig which one would be better? the one you suggest costs only 13 quid less. also, coolers?

| Re: new build-questions Hi mate, The HDD is a good one but the 1TB will be a bit faster then the 1.5TB but for £13 more i would go for the 1.5TB like you said for the cooler this one is the best air cooler out people run @4.0GHHZ with there i7 920 with this cooler. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Noctu...r-LGA1366-only But if you wont water cooling which is easy to fit (jest as easy as the air) then go for this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Corsa...AM3-compatible |
