Need a new rig, what to get?
 

Hello lads, how are you?:)

I'm actually going to buy a new rig for gaming and overclocking, it's soon wintertimez, so need something to do!! And I really miss all of this and all the members here at OCA!


How is the new AMD platform? I'd like to get something that is not socket 1366, sicen I've had like 5 different i7 setups. i5 might be a good go.

Anyway, I've chosen a few parts.

Corsair HX 850w
EVGA GTX 460/65/70? what to get?

Probably a new swiftech pump, got radiator and cpu cooling unit and all nessesary extremecooling like F1 and TEK666 + 32L dewar:)


Any good suggestions?

Maaaaan I think I need a Classified something. my f1 looks so good on it :p


Best regards Kristoffer

the 460 is a pure beast, I couldnt believe the frames at just 910core. Thats what I would snag for now

i'm liking the i5 661 variants....2 cores 4 threads ....i'm 4.4ghz stable with my (680)

dual channel is good and cheap.

maximus 3 gene is nice
maximus 3 formula is nice
evga p55 is also nice
gigabut series is also good

Thanks guys.

So how would this setup be?

Classy 200 (which version is the best?)
I5 661
EVGA 460 (are there diffrerent cores out on the market, what should I look for?)
HX 850w
What ram-kit should I get, don't have enough money for the top notch but something decent?

phenom 1090T on a GB 890x UD4 would be stellar. 6 cores/threads and unlocked.....killer.

It sounds interesting, but it will be almost the same cost as Classy 200 and a i5 661.
But probably more powerfull?

Gigabyte mb's are killer and cheap for socket 1156...no overclock limitations I have seen....even the mini/micro's.

1090t can do 4.2ghz on air now...you'll have to be aggressive with the voltage..but so far ive read that its robust..

So which one of the Gigabyte mobo's should I get? Even for 1156 and AM3?

I got an open box mIIIf for $180 and its easier to clock than the classy
