i do want to OC, but i dont want to blow my wad on some stuff that wont make that much difference, i have never used the newer stuff, so i realy dont know it verywell. right now my budget is about 80-100 bucks on ram, not 150 for some V-VX. i know i cant afford any BH-5, CH-5, TCCD, TCC5, or UTT, all that stuff is way out of my league.
now what i have been comntemplating is getting some cheap junk to start with, quality junk, but cheap, i am trying to have my rig up and running by the time i go to boise, to have a LAN party with my friends, Celeron_Phreak and AMD_Phreak. and by that time from now, i can only pull together around 650-700. and i am already blowing that mostly on the rest of the system.
DFI NF3 UT 250gb
AMD A64 2800+
6800gt
and then whatever ram that i end up getting. i have been looking at alot of the value ram, from Geil to Kingston.
so if you guys, the more experienced ones, could guide me to the right choice. i am just irritated that to get the "max" i have to pay out the ***.
my current OCing goals are aroun 2.4ghz -2.6ghz. on air, i will have a XP-90 and a good fan. all this in a Lian-Li PC-71. with plenty of cooling. the only thing i have left is to figure out the one component that is constently plaguing me.
thanks again guys, finally me, mr. computer neadrethal, will finally be able to function with the rest of society
