Building a system

So after a quick chat with my wife, I'd stick with the small gpu.

and get me new one next year from Canada

So my final build will be:

Code: 
CPU Intel Core i5-2500K Tray, LGA1155          -- € 177.03 

CPU Noctua NH-D1                               -- €  64,90

MB: ASUS P8P67 Rev 3.0, Sockel 1155, ATX, DDR3 -- € 117.20

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti DS                -- € 217.90

RAM: G.Skill DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kit           -- €  74.90

SSD: OCZ solid 3 120GB                         -- € 184,90 

HHD: Samsung HD103JS 1TB                       -- €   0.00 

PSU: Corsair AX750, 750 Watt                   -- € 138,01

DVD: LG GH-22NS                                -- €  22.90

Silverstone SST-RV02B-W Raven 2 Midi-Tower     -- € 137.69 

total                                          -- €1135.43

Once I have the system up and running somewhere in June (my personal holyday without kids)

I'll post some pictures and benchmarks from this baby & Benchmarks

Only thing now is the memory, that might change for pc1600 version if I can find anything good / cheap and compatible with the board & cpu cooler

I'd like to thank you all for giving me this great advice.
 
C'mon you're under budget, get yourself a lighting kit to show off your stuff in that nice Raven.

The reviewed case was the Silverstone SST-RV02W-EW Raven 2 Evolution, not the normal Raven.

So i'll need to change that
 
At the risk of sending you back into to face your wife

, you can't have 2 card's in SLI with that motherboard mate. I know it looks like you can but you really can't!

If you want to be able to add a second later your going to have to go for the P8P67 PRO as that will let you add a second card and allow you to run them together in SLI.

And if you can get 1600 memory then go for it. You'll need to make a change in the BIO to get the motherboard to use it at 1600 instead of 1333 but I think it's worth the extra money. In England 1600 is about £10 more than 1333.

Hope this helps.

I know, about the gpu, She will replace here XFX 8800 GTXX with that thing, So i'll get an new one

I could get 1600 mem, and know how to change it in bios. My only worries are that the Asus board is not compatible with it.

That was why I hoped someone whould know some quick descend ram

I found 8GB Mushkin Blackline Frostbyte DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9 Dual Kit, with a good price

http://www.mindfactory.de/product_i...ne-Frostbyte-DDR3-1600-DIMM-CL9-Dual-Kit.html

Now I only need to know if it will work on the board
 
aaahhhhhh, sorry mate. So you mean that when you go to Canada your going to get a 460 2win then (or something) and then use the 560 TI elsewhere. Sorry , I thought... well, you know what I thought.

Yes, that memory will work in that mobo as it supports that memory speed and I think Mushkin is a good choice. Here's the link to that mobo's specification page so you can see for yourself http://www.asus.com/...#specifications

On the memory side I don't like to recommend ram too much as I'm not sure what the best timings are to get but I've heard that muskin memory is good stuff.

The link here shows the 560TI compared to the performance you'll get out of the 2win later if your interested http://www.anandtech...duct/330?vs=314

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new rig and I'm looking forward to the pictures and benchmarks when you get time to do them

After reciving the case, I must say It looks nice. But I cant place the beauty on my desk, because off it's huge size.

Does anyone has a good alternative? please keep in mind the Nocta should fit in it.

The OCZ 3 is one of the fastest SSD's to date with the most recent Sandforce controller so I would definietly get that over the corsair. The OCZ 3 has 500MB/s read and 450MB/s write but the Corsair only has 280 MB/s read and 270 MB/s write so the OCZ is nearly twice as fast as the Corsair.
Click to expand...

The newer corsair force 3 120GB has read of up to 550MB/s and write of 510MB/s and you can get them for about £170 inc VAT which is faster and cheaper than solid series-- so if you can get that at the same price id go for it
 
Hi there,

I need some help once again, with the system.

For some odd reason it gives me at random times a blue screen (3times while writing this)

I have tested the memory no problems there.

I did run Prime95 for 2 hours no problems there.

CPU 29 Celcius

MB 29 Celcius

I played Aion for 8hours strait with out a problem.

bsd.jpg


any one has a idear where to look, because I don't know what is causing this, and it's driving me nuts

Thanks
 
Did a quick search online seems it may be a HDD error. make sure you're drives are set correctly in the bios i.e. master is 1, slave is 2 etc... see if the sata and power cables are connected properly (and plug them out and back in) and finally run cmd and then type chkdsk /r

this could just be a one off, assuming this hasn't happend before right? but if it does carry on and what i suggested doesn't work i'll try to help out again.
 
Checked all cables, moved the ssd to SATA III port 1 (6gb)

The 2 spinpoints moved to port 3/4 SATA II

DVD is still port 5

and the sSATA still on port 6.

Waiting for windows to install, so I can find out what is causing this.

Makes me a sad monkey

Kara this is a brand new rig, just started it up, Friday for the first time. So I'm not sure if it's a problem with the board or ssd.

One thing I did note, some times after the blue screen it fails to find the SSD on first boot. That the bios fucks the boot sec. up. And looks for the OS on port 4 instead off port 1 (the ssd)
 
is there a way to test what the problem is, the SSD or the mainboard?

Since After a number off tries I'm sure it's one off those, and it's freaking me out
 
Looking at the above posts your SSD is an OCZ right? Judging from what you said about the system not seeing the SSD I'm going to take a punt and say its your SSD having problems. Been seeing people have problems with OCZ SSDs. Try booting up and using a HDD without the SSD plugged in and see what happens.
 
Just got back into my own system.

and looked for the checkdisk log. It shows no errors.

I might have fixed the problems. by updating with the latest beta BIOS from Asus "1608" at least this did boot up right away
 
Just rann Prime95 and bang

Code: 
Problem signature:

Problem Event Name:	BlueScreen

OS Version:	6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

Locale ID:	1031

Additional information about the problem:

BCCode:	124

BCP1:	0000000000000000

BCP2:	FFFFFA8007173028

BCP3:	00000000BE200000

BCP4:	000000000005110A

OS Version:	6_1_7601

Service Pack:	1_0

Product:	256_1
 
From what I could find out BSOD 124 has a number of causes, this ranges from drives to overheating components or even too much voltage, this could be a CPU issue.

A link you may find useful:

According to the Asus sensor

Vcore 1,376v

+12 12,192v

+5v 5,000v

+3.3v 3,360v

CPU 32°Celsius

MB 27°Celsius

cpu running @ 4500.3 MHz

Mem running default @ 1600

I had my mem running with 1648 and cpu with 47++ without the problem, so I doubt it's overclocking.

I'm getting the feeling that the Mainboard, is a bad production with all the damm errors I keep getting.

The not knowing the SSD has been gone since flashing the bios.

So I'm thinking on returning this Asus board and getting something else, or a new one
