Good Morning Paul,
I spoke with pete in sales today regarding an upcoming purchase of an edge bundle and upgrades to make a complete system. He gave me his email addy to submit my requests, alas it bounced. Could you take a look at my proposal and let me know what you think please. (copy of email below)
Thank you in advance.
Regards Tony
Hello Pete,
We spoke today regarding an upgrade to the edge I7 bundle. I wanted to upgrade the mobo to the LN32365 Gigabyte, GA-X58A-UD5.
I also would like to change the cooler to LN25719 Ultra-120-1366RT eXtreme. This cooler has a fan that is 5 DB quieter the one that comes with the bundle. Thermalright seems to have more of proven track record? Unless you feel this is a wrong move?
Obviously when I am running with a stock bios profile I would like the PC to be very quiet and cool as practical.
I would only use the O/C mode when rendering large cad files or encoding videos.
Some Questions if I may.
Can you set up a stock and o/c profile on this mobo that I can select at boot up?
Will the mobo package come with all the bits as if bought the mobo as a separate unit?
Will I need a 6GB SATA cable for the 6GB WD drive I have selected or will the stock 3GB ones suffice?
Can you supply me with all packing/boxes of the parts used in the Edge bundle? (for resale value if I decide to upgrade)
Can you supply the part number for a mount kit for the ssd if it needs one?
So that's all the questions I can think of for now. No doubt I will have a few more based on your reply
If you could take a look at what I have selected below to complete the bundle and let me know what your thoughts are, compatibility, upgrades downgrades e.t.c I would be very grateful.
Although £1100.00 is not a great deal for a mid level system, I would want to ensure I had the best advice and made the correct choices.
Thank you very much in advance for your time.
