Hi Everyone, this is my first post on these forums
Ok;
I'm currently running an Intel C2Duo E6600 on an MSI P965neo with Corsair Value select 667 ram (2GB).
At the time I was on a tight budget
Unfortunately my MSI Mobo is not very OC friendly, and for that matter neither is my el-cheapo ram, as such I'm stuck running my E6600 CPU on stock 2.4ghz, which is a lot lower than it is capable of.
I've been doing a little research, both reading these forums and so google searching and have decided the "Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R Motherboard Rev2" is my mobo of choice ($165 AUD http://pccasegear.com.au/prod5302.htm)
And as far as ram goes, I'm looking at some "OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Reaper HPC 2x2GB" ($286 AUD http://pccasegear.com.au/prod5933.htm)
Any thoughts on these? Or has anybody got any suggestions for better/alternatives for the same price area?
Thanks.
