You're set....i dont see a single thing to change.

The XMS memory is good, i prefer the OCZ to overclock like OCZ plat. Rev2.....but this is good too. thats just a preference.



You did your homework forme....this is exactly what i would buid for a $1000 OCing budget, HSF and fan included too...

maybe add some Atric silver 5...

maybe a couple case fans if you dont have them....


your good to go,.

2-3-3-6-T1 XMS So the OCZ @ 2-2-2-5 is better?

Don't have much in the way of fan mounts in this case...OLD...but may get out the dremel and make a few, Also will most likely update the drives to SATA in the near future.

your good to go,.
