What's your budget? Any particular things you are looking for in the case (mid/fulltower)? Also, 6GB? I don't think triple channel is supported but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

lets keep my budget is around 500 euro but i only will need a mid size case a motherboard memory and the processor cos i already have things i will need

you cant use 6gb its 4 or 8 Im affriad dude. you need to buy dual channel kits. Some budgets would be a good idea aswell

[General_Chris]

then ill take 4 not rly a big deal and i can always get another 4 gb if i want

budget is around 500 euro max

Shopping basket

It's a dutch page since I dont know a lot of english shops but here's whats in it:

Lancool Dragonlord K62 (Case)

Asus Crosshair III Formula (Motherboard)

Corsair Dominators 4GB DDR3-12800 1600 Mhz (Memory)

AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition (CPU)

It's just something I put together real quick so there might be better options as for the motherboard n stuff

does it have to be amd? you could prob get a sick spec'd intel machine for that kinda money

[killablade]

Yeah you could go for an i7-860 + MSI GD65 + Memory for that kinda money for sure

[thestepster]

or an i5 750, not to mention it would completely smoke the amd performance wise

I'd definitely go i7 Hyperthreading ftw
