Hi all,
I need help choosing what parts to go for, I want to upgrade my RAM and get a new SSD to replace my current ones.
I have an Asus P7P55D-LE with a Lynnfield i7-860 @ 2.80
I want to overclock the processor using the CPU level up function in the bios, to about 3.90.
When I first built my machine, by searching the net i found that I had to get low voltage 1333 ram. So I have 8gb. Now it seems if the cpu is overclocked i can run 1600 ram?
So i was thinking about getting either of these kits:
Corsair Vengance 16GB (4x4) 1600MHz 1.5v
or
Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (4x4) 1600MHz 1.65v
Do you guys think it would be compatible, any advice on how to get it to work or what to do?
...
Also, choosing a SSD is hard, I know nothing about them, but after some research I came up with these two options,
Samsung 840 Series 2.5" 250GB SSD + Mounting Kit - MZ-7TD250KW
/
OCZ 2.5" Vertek 4 Series 256GB SSD + No Kit - VTX4-25SAT3-256G
??
Thanks so much
Sean
