solid. only thing i would change is the cooler and the hdd. the western digital 7200.11 drives are almost as fast as Raptor drives. and for the cooler get a Xigmatek Rifle s1283. its on par with the TRUE and almost half as much.

the cooler selection from this shop is a bit crappy, they dont sell that hsf =/

do u mean seagate 7200.11 or a WD drive?

also what about the e7200?

thanks

 

[Peter.Cort]

ha. yeah i meant the seagate 7200.11 and the e7200 is a superb chip, it can OC to 4.5 on air, or so i've heard. I might be getting one myself soon. and if they don't sell the xigmatek then the vendetta is fine.

Wait I thought you decided on the q6600?

Anyways.. an e7200 is a cut down Wolfdale core (at 2.53ghz and half the cache)

OCZ Vendetta 2
get the vendetta 2. It does just as good as the True if not better.

go with a new p45 motherboard, e5200 should be coming out any day now...
