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

[Eloxy]

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

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:

Motherboard changed to:

DDR3, ATX, SLI&CrossFireX, Firewire, 2xGbLAN, 3xPC

er, snap. I forgot.

ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler, Blue COOLER
Light, Socket 478/775/939/940/AM2/AM2+

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.
