Does this all match up?

Also, Can Anyone pick out a case that will handle all of this or a psu? Case with none and buy power supply?

Thanks again everyone,

Truebe

any kind of case with OCZ modstream 450, fortron blue storm 500, or antec neopower480

also, the xms aren't great OCing ram, so don't expect much from them

I don't know of any cases that come with those power supplies diablo.

You could get 2 sets of these (4X256MB configuration) for about $200 and these should overclock well plsu they are already at PC4000 speeds

meh, i didn't use commas

i meant buy any case you want and then buy one of the power supplies i listed (they will fit any case you buy)

and those sticks that dale posted are good, but i don't know how well you can overclock with four sticks

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

You can still overclock well with 4 sticks , their all rated to 4000 speeds so that will be great

And for a power supply, thermaltake td-420AD, runs ya 35$, or get a td-480AD

hmm...I was looking for so good cheap ram, i am not sure i will OC my ram since I am kinda new to OCing, only done my video card. $200 bucks is more than i wanted to pay but ill think about it.

Even if the xms ram isnt good for OCing, its still good ram, right?

Thanks for the case and ram info, appreciate it

 

[diabloII]

xms is very good ram, but it's just not very good at OCing compared to the $220+ ram

3200+ stock is already very fast, so you wouldn't have is worry about it (the xms can probably push it up to 3800+ speeds)

 

[dale5605]

The RAM I suggested is great for OC and only $200

But remember that overclocking the processor without overclocking the RAM to keep up with it is pretty much pointless. I would just try to budget the extra $40 for that good overclocking ram, and since it is already at high speeds you can overclock the processor up a good amount before you even have to worry about messing with the RAM timings, voltages, etc.

The XMS is great if you don't OC or don't do it too much. The XMS RAM I have I just love, but I don't OC very much at all because I think everything is powerful enough at stock. And honestly your system will be plenty powerful at stock I think but if you want to overclock I guess it's better to spend the extra.
