I'm just about to go ahead and buy:
Asus P5B Deluxe
Intel E6600
Corsair 2x1GB PC6400 Dominator
Sapphire X1950PRO 256MB
Western Digital 250GB (WD2500KS)
Samsung DVD±RW (SH-S182D)
To complete the build I need a case, psu and maybe extra cooling (-i'm going to be overclocking)
For the PSU I was thinking the OCZ 600W gameXstream. Do you guys have any other suggestions for psu's i should look into or have any experience with this one? Oh and do you think i should buy a 700W one, so if i do upgrade to an 8800 graphics card, or just upgrade, i won't need to upgrade the psu?
Case wise i was thinking the Antec Nine Hundred. Looks good with excellent cooling, but again i'm open to ideas about other cases.
As the Nine Hundred is already cooled pretty well, I'd probably only need a CPU cooler. (or do you think i'd need extra cooling?) Currently looking at the Thermaltake's Big Typhoon 120 VX which looks pretty good and has reasonable reviews. Would you recommend any other coolers? Or do you think the stock cooler with the E6600 will be enough for overclocking?
Cheers,
