I think we can do a bit better than that if you post in the standard format

Newegg combos will save you quite a bit.

drop down to a 790GX motherboard, unless you plan on getting a duo of 5870 which by you're choice of PSU, you aren't.

The 790fx motherboard comes in an offer with the pII 940..it has a quite good price so why should i get a GX? (besides $) the GX also comes with a integrated gpu that i dont need..

U think a DFI LP DK 790GX-M2RS would be a better choice?? why?

 

[nachota1987]

any other advise?

 

[hunter315]

format it like it is shown in the sticky i linked to and list an online parts site near you, the more people you have helping you find deals on good parts the better of a build you will get.

ok lets see how it goes now

 

[nachota1987]

bump..

 

[hunter315]

Okay, go for the OCZ Ram over the kingston, its faster and has better timing. The vaporx cooler is supposed to be better than the toxic, and you definitely want a SATA burner instead of an IDE burner for better air flow and so you dont have to fight with short IDE cables.

 

[nachota1987]

thx for the response

about the OCZ ram, do i need to make some changes in the bios? cos ive read some mobos dont get the correct ram timing at the start

 

[hunter315]

you will as bios tends to get its timings off the SPD's listed on the chip which is often not the best timings that the ram is capable of, so you will need to adjust the timings in bios to get them to the listed spec.

 

[nachota1987]

ok nice to know thx

any other suggestions?

 

[nachota1987]

well ive changed the 4870 vapor-x for a 4890 vapor-x

the rest sits the same.. lets see how it goes
