Hey Guys

I decided to take TTL's advice and upgrade.

Im posting here coz all my posts get such good answers frm Tiny Tom Logan!

Ok so ive got a this so far:

CPU Cooler: Gigabyte G-Power 2 Pro

HDD: (3 Internal) 2 x 250GIG Samsung 7200RPM, 1 x 2TB W&D 5900RPM

Sound Card: Creative 5.1 (nothing Special)

Graphics Card: Asus EAH5870 V2 1GIG GDDR5

PSU: Antec 500W

Case: Cm Scout

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit

Now im looking at getting:

CPU: i7 930 (can get a cheap 2nd hand one)

Ram: Please suggest something good (saw Tiny Tom Logans review but dont know price in South Africa yet?)

Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreame! (Oh YES)

Could you just give me some thoughts Please

Thanks Guys!

Its the 998826 Blackline and there is no difference with the kit. Its confusing but this was just a first look a the Redline heatsinks.

You are not going to be able to get hold of the redline for a little while I dont think
 
ok one last thing regarding my PSU

I no ive only got a 500W but will it power a system like this until i get a new one (no too long)?

Ive heard that the rampage 3 extreame needs dual rails?

My PSU got one mobo eight pin (doesnt fit grpahics card so must be mobo) and a 4 pin?

Thanks
