Finally about to buy - shopping list check please :-)

Hi All,

I have FINALLY decided on a rig (after weeks of debating)

Any comments on compatability on the following would be much appreciated.

I am going for the Asus P8Z77 WS purley for the expandability and future proofing.

I was thinking along the lines of the Sabertooth but I felt it was a bit gimicky?

Corsair Hydro Series H100

Corsair Obsidian 650D w no PSU

Corsair AX1200 (already have)

Intel i7 3770K

2 x Corsair Force Series GT SSD 240GB

Asus GTX690

Corsair Memory Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1866 MHz

Asus P8Z77 WS Mobo

Corsair K90 Keyboard

Corsair M90 Mouse

Thanks in advance,

James

have a look on www.dabs.com they have some of the lowest price around

When it comes to ram i would have a look at the crucial Ballistix http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=CDF1314CA5CA7304

Any reason for Ballistix over Vengance?

In the asus P8Z77-V user guide it says This mobo does not support DIMMs made up of 512Mb (64MB) chips or less

Would that be the same for the one i'm getting, the Asus P8Z77 WS?

there should be a problem with ram,

also even with ax1200 its still an huge overkill for me but since you already have then i guess its all good

What RAM would you suggest I get?

 

[jimbojames]

Or does anyone have any recommendations on RAM sticks that have DIMMs made up of more than 512Mb (64MB) chips? Mushkin?

it proberly will do, that said 512Mb X64 chip sets should work fine aswell as their qualified vendors lists does recommend corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9(XMP)
