Not sure it's worth spending money on a quadcore if games is what you're getting a new PC for. You can get a nice dualcore like the e6750 for much less. And maybe a 8800GTS would be a better choice? Otherwise it looks pretty nice.
 
I'm curious as to why the MB bundle? You won't be able to overclock too far with the Intel heatsink on there. Especially with a quad core.
 
Cost mostly.

With a system of that spec, i'm not really sure i'll need to overclock it will I?

Although a colleague has suggested to me to get an OCZ PSU. It is branded by nvidia and as the mobo and gpu are nvidia, the software will automatically overclock the machine within reasonable limits.

Exactly, look at my OC. 3.1 ghz. and then look at this

I'm liking my chip @$275.00 Overclocking makes sense.
 
Not a fan of the case but to each his own... seems like a good collection of parts for gaming..

My mate built his rig using stuff from Novatech and AriaPC... great companies...

My PC is fully kitted with Zalman and Zerotherm stuff with all the fans off sooo quiet..:sly:
 
I'm not too bothered about the case, it'll be under my desk anyway. It's cool, quiet and has lots of functions for a good price. There were some really cool cases but for double the price so it wasn't really worth it
 
Sorry for the double post but

It's here!

Mobo and PSU are now installed. I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Pics to come!
 
Be sure to hit the 3Dmark benchmark page. :) Should be a nice machine for you. 👍
 
I certainly will!

I had thought about trying it with my old computer and posting the results in the thread, but I didn't want to embarrass myself!

I'll post in there as soon as I can. 👍



*edit*

PICS!!!!
