Would the 1Gb one be wroth another $20?

I'm still not sure about a PSU, This is what I was looking at

If I overclock to around 4Ghz, will I need a better CPU cooler? Or should it be fine with the Antec 900 cooling. Thanks for all the help I've gotten too. I started out completely lost, and you all really helped.

nice build. i would go with a CPU cooler. its always better to be safe than sorry. especially with this kind of stuff.

if the 4850 1GB is only 20 dollars more i would get it. considering the price of the system 20 bucks more isnt that much...... but it all depends on budget

Get different ram faster like 1200 MHz not 800
for that MB is Memory Standard is DDR2 1200

 

[Cire353]

I heard it wasn't worth the extra $20-30 for 1066 is it wroth it for another $50 for 1200?

 

[Cire353]

And would it be better to get a Q6600 then a E8400?

 

[phantomofrussia]

it depends..... right now E8400 kicks the Q6600 but unless your using a program use utilizes all four cores. in addition read that E8400 is much better at overclocking.

you could get the 1066 and then oc it to 1200... or you could just get 1200. as i said before it is your budget.

Ok that's what I thought, I think I'm just going to stick with 800 RAM though. And how does this CPU cooler look?

It comes in a combo with the E8400.
