hi,
i am building a new gaming rig for a friend of mine. this is what i have shortlisted at the moment.
cpu - i7-930
mobo-asus p6x58d premium
ram - gskill PI 3x2gb@1600mhz
case-Thermaltake Armor+ Black VH6000BWS
psu- corsair ax850 gold
cooling - venomous-x with 2x sythe ultra kaze 2000rpm in push/pull
gpu- gigabyte gtx460 1gb
hard drive- barracuda 1tb
+ a few noctua nfp-12 case fans
os- windows 7 64 bit
i am a bit unsure about the venomous-x. i am also considering the noctua nhd-14. i want the quieter one as they both seem to be good. which of these setups above will be quieter? i know if i go with the noctua i will have to go for different ram, something not as high. i am thinking then the g-skill ripjaws. i may have to put this question in the cooling thread but if anybody has any ideas here please advise.
i will definately be overclocking and i hope to get at least 3.6ghz and would like to reach 4.0ghz. will i be able to do it with 1600 mhz ram or do i need 2000mhz?
please let me know what you think and if there are any better suggestions please let me know. your time and comments are much appreciated.
