Yep, that's great. There is no need to waste money on a Tuniq Tower though if you're not OC'ing. The stock cooler will be fine.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Nice setup indeed. Should be a great performing rig.

If you're willing to spend a little more and get one item from somewhere else, you should get a Xeon E3110 or E8400. They are the same thing.

Me and Vitaminx talked about that, but they aren't in stock anywhere at a reasonable price (sometimes they're around $290), and the E6750 is still a decent CPU.

 

[Vitaminx]

yea, i was thinking about getting rid of the tuniq tower but heh, if i ever do decide to oc atleast its there. Looks pretty kickass too lol. By the way I'm probably getting the vista home premium 64 bit. think i should go to 8 gigs or nah

 

[Atomic Rooster]

You'll be fine with 4GB of memory. When and if the need ever arises, you can always get more.

 

[worshipme]

If you ever do decide to OC you'll be wishing you hadn't bought that RAM, it's very cheap for 2x2GB though. Good choice with 64 bit BTW.

think i should go to 8 gigs or nah

No, by the time you need 8GB of memory, DDR3 will be at a reasonable price and all boards will support it.

 

[Vitaminx]

Well what i mean by oc'ing is just overclocking the cpu. i probably wouldnt mess with the ram. But im curious why you said if i ever decide to c that i'll be wishing i hadn't bought that ram. Whys that? what do you recommend.

 

[worshipme]

When you overclock a CPU, you increase the FSB speed, this increases the memory frequency, so you need your RAM to be capable of running at higher speeds.
