"PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI, HDCP, HDMI, Core 240x2, Graphics Plus, CUDA, 55nm GFX"?

Hard drive?

Yeh know that panda teddybear isnt compatible with that machine :P

[Eloxy]

For hard drives i use a 1tb "crap" drive and for my wow instalation i use a ssd drive

Panda powah! =)

Give us a link to ze panda.

PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI, HDCP, HDMI, Core 240x2, Graphics Plus, CUDA, 55nm GFX Looking at that, are you getting a GTX 295?

If so, I don't think your power supply will cut it. (I'm going off of newegg specs, both the EVGA and BFG cards state that a PSU of at least 680W is required. (Along with a combined 12V rating of 46A)

Links to the products you want are very helpful. :)

Have I ever mentioned your avatar makes me giggle?

[Eloxy]

PS changed to:
Corsair Powersupply 750W Black, ATX/EPS,

Motherboard changed to:
Asus P6T Deluxe V2, X58, Socket-1366
DDR3, ATX, SLI&CrossFireX, Firewire, 2xGbLAN, 3xPC

er, snap. I forgot.

ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler, Blue COOLER

You're going to need an LGA1366 Kit from ASUS to mount your cpu cooler.

Sorry about not noticing that. :( I tried looking for a bit, all I could find in sites actually selling the mounting bracket for your specific heatsink/fan were russian, and had the wrong variant.

Here's what I found on the ASUS global page.

/me failed. :(

Your computer will still work fine (without overclocking) with the stock heatsink/fan. The insides just won't look as cool. So you could return the heatsink for a refund, or wait for the socket kit to come out. (I'd go for this one, the kits aren't very expensive)

[Eloxy]

ah dont worry m8 =)

I can still use the stock cooler untill i get a new one. I read somwhere that u can even oc the processor 20-30% with the stock cooler. so it shoule be fine =)

[Sajuuk]

I still don't think I'd want to try overclocking with the stock heatsink/fan.

[Eloxy]

hmm maby ure right. I mean, there is no need to gamble anything for a few fps more atleast untill i get a cooler that's up for the task. think ima go with the stock frequecy for starters in that case.

Would this set fit my mainboard? or do i have to get a original ASUS kit?

this is the the site i almost exclusivly buy from, due to good service and fast delivery

[Sajuuk]

I personally would go with the ASUS one, because it was designed for your cooler. (And to make sure no problems arise)
