anyone wanna advice on the mobo? should i go for asus or gigabyte?

dominator GT's maybe? i rally wanted 12gb ram so its future proof + they are actually all matched! all 12 of them, thats pretty awesome i think ^^. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....1-CS&tool=3 man i could get some crazy overclocks on those right? 2000mhz is more than my current CPU at stock ! stil tho that 12gb set can also be overclocked + i will never need pagefile, ever xD i need more info on ram guys, 350 is alot to spend on ram, so lets say anything in that range? that is why i picked this case, soo much possible with water cooling. but thats for the future, when i can afford it xD good to hear the build looks solid, i might keep the gtx 275 tho im gonna have to get an aftermarket heatsink for it, it is crazy loud at anything over 60% fan speed. also if possible id like to know if somethings gonna bottleneck something else?

Hello everybody! nice to be back, last time i posted here was ages ago! iv actually gotten older, maybe even matured alitle xD first i will tell you about my current PC of like 4,5-5 years. Opteron 170 dual core oc'd to 2.5ghz 250x10. volts on auto. barely any settings changed, works, stable, solid 24/7 forever now. i even vacuum it while its on. its cooled by the XP90c which is lapped. oh and the cpu doesnt have that metal shield thing protecting the die. max load under 35c +6c correction in bios. i got the opty new for 50 not too long ago, but long enough to forget Oo. 2x1gb Gskil ZX 3-3-3-7 1/2 divider, mem at 208 mhz DFI lanparty UT expert board. some non standard bios version i cant remember atm, but can look it up if needed. 2x250 gb barracudas 650w thermaltake or thermal right psu. its got a gtx 275 in it, bottlenecked by everything(not even a PCI-e 2.0 and DX9 xp pro) lol. used to be a 6800gs but iv replaced it few months back when i started preparing for my build. stil that gtx plays everything even on my very old pc this PC is friggin awesome, i have probably came close to frying everything in there hundreds of times, bad overclocks crazy voltage etc.. anything that voids warranty i have done it.. it has never let me down, none of the parts i bought 5 years ago failed.. NONE! never had to return anything but the hard drives.. but those rubbish barracudas are known to go bad after a while, or maybe just mine did Oo. im not throwing it away or anything. its going to be with meh forever, jk.. gonna give it to my bro for browsing the net and stuff. and with couple 8800gt's he could prolly play games too, they are like 50 euro each used. idk anyway lets move on. ---- iv been saving money and im almost ready to spend it ^^ now then, lets get to hardware i chose or need your help choosing. i will link to everything from overclockers.co.uk but i will be buying some parts from komplette.ie coz some of the things are cheaper there. CPU: Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=CP-280-IN MOBO 1: Asus P6X58D Premium Intel X58 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=MB-379-AS MOBO 2: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1283 DDR3: Corsair 12GB (6X2GB) 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Dominator with DHX+ <---- 357 euro at komplette.it http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1392 CASE: Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case (we prolly dont need a link here, but i'll link anyway, i think this case is amazing) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=CA-020-CS PSU: Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=CA-019-CS advice on a cooler would be nice, i was thinking of getting the Corsair H50, those seem to cool as good if not better then the big butt expensive heatsinks. im also getting 3 HDD's and some sata dvd rw drive. x1 Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache <-- storage x2 Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache <-- for raid 0 i already have a GFX card which as i mention is gtx 275 which needs its freedom to render and process xD i might even get another one couple years from now. i think thats it. i cant make my mind up on the mobo.. they both seem pretty awesome i really dont know which to pick to the point where i want them both~~ im also hoping a single rail PSU is is good enough for this ? i read it has 79 amps on the 12v if im correct, that seems alot compared to them old psu's xD if there is something that isnt compatible please tell me, also i know its going to be a big leap in performance and power and even noise.. my current PC is very moded and has 7 80 mm fans in it xD + the nb and cpu fan. i want this new one as close to silent as possible, itl be nice to sleep in silence for a change, coz atm i always have a whistle in my ears when i leave the room. do you guys think this is a solid build for the next 5 years? will i be able to play every game on it? considering another GTX 275 someday. or maybe i can sell it and get a DX11 card? idk.. my budget is 1500-1600euro (2100-2250$) i'll only have the full amount in a few weeks +id like to wait incase some new stuffs gonna come out, or maybe prices drop? or is this just wishful thinking? anyway, thank you for your time, and thanks for reading and clicking links and paying attention and simply visiting this thread^^. all the suggestions, everything is welcome! im going to overclock the . out of this for your pleasure in return for your advice and i'll take pics building it and unwrapping stuff and maybe even make a video, with my cats in the big case xD

Hey, havent posted here in a long time. my friend is having some weird issues with XP pro. she cant play any videos and she gets screen blink (it goes dark for about 2 secs) when she tries playing them. we tried many players, codec's and nothing helped so far, if she lived near i could have gone and just format the whole thing, but atm i need to find a solution. she tells me it started when she bought her new gforce 6200 (she tells me she set the card in a right way and screwed it in), b4 that she had rodeon 9600 and videos worked. couple days ago we uninstalled all the drivers and installed the latest ones from nvidia site, even that did help. am very confused atm and dont know what else to do. i would realy like a sugestion or an info about this issue. tyvm in advance.

here is the web site but i am like totaly lost.. what to get? what resistors to get? :S i am many confused:/ here is the link:http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/default.php?cPath=26&osCsid=6eda607dc67eb75be2d4446c5b1c790d thx in advance:)

The delivery will be made By UPS. anyway i am confused right now and i dont want to be facinf charges opver 50-100$ although i dont think UPS will charge me but i heard that like in uk if something is sent via royal male and . is facing custom charges. bah sry for a long post, i just want to be sure:). oh ye forgive me for posting here:S

i ment boxing day sale:P i cant go through alot of sites coz most dont deliver to ireland/uk/europe and if they do i am gona have to pay shipping charges many times (if i use many online stores) the parts i chose so far are: DFI Lanparty NF4 UT SLI-DR AMD Athlon 64 3200+ XFX GeForce 6600 GT / 128MB DDR3 / PCI Express / SLI / Dual DVI / TV Out Ultra Dual Channel 1024MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory ( 2 x 512MB) - Premium Wood Box (0.5 lbs) (lol wood box) Cooler Master - CM Stacker (BTX support so i can upg my MB later) Ultra / X-Finity / 500-Watt / ATX / 120mm Fan / SATA-Ready / SLI-Ready / Black / Power Supply so far i am on $980 with optical drives(2), HDD, some thermal paste and some other ... i am shopping @ tigerdirect (coz they deliver worldwide) (so far the waight of everything is (56lb's(103$ delivery charge) any1 all sugestions acsepted aslong as they are from tigerD

kk, i am already over budget^^ atm on 900$ so i think i am gona go with 6600gt, is 6600gt faster then 6800? and another question will online stores have sales on boxing day? like i shops (not online) they have boxing day sales etc..

Thx for info guys, this can be closed unless some1 else knows some good online PC stores taht deliver to europe:) EDIT: ye man thx for advise, i checked taht case and it totaly rox, so much space.. but price on tigerdirect is 159.99 without the Cross Flow Fan, 4-in-3 Device Module and PSU. i guess just another reason for me to get a PSU^^. anyway i am gona go for CM Stacker (STC-T01) case, once again thx for advice:)

my last choice is a mobo this are 2 i realy like: DFI http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...1356361&CatId=0 ASUS http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...547357&CatId=13 reviews are good for both of them, but i must chose only1:P. ASUS comes with loads of stuff in the box with it. another thing i noticed is taht it has a heatsing coolling the chipset, but on the review pages they had fans etc: http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20...3/index-01.html help me chose please, i almost finished collecting data on the parts i want and about to order them, Thx in advance:)
