HD's 80gb Raid0 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822135106

hopefully i can easily push 300fsb with that ram, and even lower the timings a bit with more volts???

Any body ever used one of these coolers before? gonna try one out

Thanks for any help!
 
I'm not too sure about that RAM or what chips it has, but PC5000 rating is something I haven't seen before, but its OCZ, so it should be pretty good.
Other than that the only thing I'd personally change is the HD, I had the worst luck with WDs, the SATA Seagate 7200.7 seem to also be unreliable, I'd get a Maxtor or Hitachi HD.

Other than that everything looks pretty sweet
 
Looks ace mate. Havent seen that ram before but it sounds good and OCZ are usually pretty good. Like 'The coolest' said i would personally prefer getting hitachi or maxtor drives. The only other thing i would say is to get an XP-90 rather than the cooler u picked.
 
go with a zalman cooler, they keep the cpu super cool even while ocing

i am at 2.2 with my 3000 winnie right now and it is at 26/38 idle/load
 
Sweet, thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll drop the HD's and grab some better ones. Mabey even just water coolt he system.
Any body know if Nvidia ever updated thier Sli drivers so youc an OC the cards now?
