thats a great motherboard, but do ou need x48? what about x38?
270 is alot..
do you plan on going xfire?

 

[veg1992]

The DFi Board doesn't come with a cooler.. (you mean the CPU it comes with a cheap lame cooler)

get a Rosewill RCX-Z775 for $20

 

[overlord20]

the dfi board comes with a heat sink, according to the newegg website anyways. and yes i plan to xfire.

this link may bring you to the pictures.

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

the total with shipping and everything is 888.77 i plan to do the build in mid august when i have enough saved up.

edit: i see now looking closer at the pics it goes to the motherboard. i will check out that other cooler you recommended.

 

[veg1992]

Thats a Northbridge Heatsink

 

[overlord20]

lol yea i seen that.. my bad..

here is my aftermarket cpu cooler:

Newegg.com - Rosewill RCX-Z775-LX 92mm Ball CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

i can oc with this right?

 

[veg1992]

Yep

(5 character limit)

 

[overlord20]

so build looks good? it will fit in a mid tower right?

 

[veg1992]

Yep, the Board is a bit overboard, thats really more suitable for Water Cooling Builds since it can high really high FSB

EDIT: I just saw you're planning that in the future, but you might need a PSU upgrade in the future then, also a case upgrade because most cases aren't really suitable for them

 

[overlord20]

ohh okay i see.i just want a better cpu cooler for now for minor ocing until i can afford a good water cooling kit... im going to suffer after this build for awhile lol.

EDIT: maybe i should just get a bigger psu now?
