Hi all, I recently attempted a very mild o/c on my new rig (400fsb, from 333), and it corrupted my HD boot sector, forcing a full reinstall.
This pc unfortunatly is also my wifes and she was kinda pissed that I toasted the nice new pc by "farting around with it when it worked fine"
So I now want to build a new rig, but as it is all coming out of my personal wallet and will be out 4th pc (may replace one with this one) it needs to be in the "awesome bang for the buck" category.
Here is what I have so far, but I need to place the order today so any help is good help.
Mobo: XFX 680i LT SLI ($90)
cpu: e6750 or e2180 ($180 or $100)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 1066
Cooler: scythe katana II
So, I have the RAM, and the board I cant pass up unless its a dud (anyone? oc'able?).
The CPU, I will def o/c, so will the 6750 be worth the extra 80 bux or with the 2180 be better for the money?
I already own the katana so its that or an a/c freezer 7 pro till something goes on sale ;)
Suggest away please
