Yet another request for new build help ;)

[tinners]

Yet another request for help / advice please.

Will this be an OK gaming / general rig ?

Can I expect to overclock it and if so what kind of increase would I get do you think ?

I already have a LianLi v1000 case, a DVD drive and a couple of other SATA drives.

I am also trying to keep as close to £1000 as possible. Currently at £1002.91 !

Scan seems to be way the best place to get this kit from. Is that true ?

Thanks

Oops the mobo should read

Gigabyte GA 965P-DS4 iP965, S775, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 533/667/800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX LN15069 £104.05

Any input folks ?

i've got the E6400 and DS-4 Combo. I've got Team Xtreem memory in it, and amnt overclocking

also got an arctic freezer 7 on it too.

looks like a good setup
wouldn't really change anything at all

Cna you buy the team eXtreme memory in the uk, the ones with the d9's in?

Looks pretty good to me. Only thing I'd change is the DVD to LN13548 or LN17059, which is SATA, and thus a bit more future-proof for your next upgrade (doesn't have Lightscribe, but IMO that's a waste anyway as you need to buy special more expensive media for it).

thats my kit there.

unfortunately its not d9 fatboys, but apparently it overclocks like a beast, ive yet to try it though

waiting on some tubing for watercooling

Good, but I would go for a x1950XT rather than your 7950GT. The x1950XT is faster and cheaper, and while it only has 256MB of memory, I doubt you'd miss the extra 256MB with only a 20" screen.

EDIT: Ok, maybe not that much faster, but still faster IMHO.
