but i have no idea which motherboard to take and another question what case you guys recommended?

any help will be helpfull

Cheers
 
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
 
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 ;)

Yeah my mate got his i7-860 to 4Ghz stable using his Prolimatech Megahalems! :D

He even left a lot of voltages on auto so I think he can do 4,2+

Good enough? :p
 
i would say AMD with the proc you was looking at,but i5 is a good choice if it can be had for the same price
 
yeah id prefer that but the cpu on its own is about £250 thats more than half the budget then he's got a m/b case and ram to get from that and he should get a really good heatsink aswell for it

Is it? Cuz it's like 235 euro's here so I figured you'd be able to pick one up for 200-ish in the UK. Same goes for the motherboard. I figured 100 pounds for the 4GB Dominators 1600 Mhz kit and another 100 for the motherboard (GD-65). 100 for the case and a Mugen 2 to keep things cool. ;)

But as I said I don't know what the prices are in the UK as I dont know any websites that compare the prices of english stores so yeah I guess what I figured was wrong:p
