(already have) Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 213T
Maybe overclock CPU/GPU in the future.
question1:
1. If I change RAM to Cas Latency 7 one, how much performance gain can I get?
2. I have no idea which PSU and CASE I whould pick.If someone could pick something cost less with same performance? Or just let me know your preference.
3. I have an old DVD burner IDE interface. Will it slow down the system? Or should I grab a SATA version.
4. If i7-920 only support DDR3 1333, why are we buying DDR3 1600? For overclock?
