Hi, I am new to the forums.
I have an Antec 900 2 case already.
THIS IS WHAT i want to upgrade too.
Evga SLI Le Motherboard.
Sapphire HD 5850
OCZ 12800 1600 mhz 7-7-7-24
Core i7 920
Corsair HX 750w
Prolimatech Megahalms Cpu cooler
Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste
I will be overclocking the CPU to 3.6 GHZ after running stress tests for a while.
What are your thoughts on what i want to upgrade too.
I live in Australia so Telling me about places to buy the stuff in the States won't help.
Are there any guides for a building a computer you could reccomend?
Full Version: This is my first build
Thx m8.
Check the voltages before you select the RAM i7 supports only 1.65v so if you have a stick rated @ higher volts, it will give lesser performance!
Select a proccy with D0 stepping as it OCs better, 4.0gigs should be a easy with Megahalems!!
Mobo options: Rampage II Gene, P6T, EVGA Micro (Although yours is good too!!)
EDIT: Get triple channel 3x2gb RAM!

I meant I will get the 3 x 2 GB OCZ kit.
Are there any good overclocking guides which will help me overclock to 3.4 - 3.6 ghz? After running Prime 95 for 24 hours and i am happy. Maybe i will overclock higher.
I have had experience overclcoking Graphic cards , but not CPUs. I overclocked my Gigabyte 9800 Gt Core clock from 650 mhz to 850 mhz , my memory from 800 - 1050.

You have quite some OC experience!! I didn't dig up any i7 guide, but here's a good one for PhenomII.. It's basically a similar architecture!

Come on dude!! It's similar while OCing.. I mean it's IMC and not FSB.. Bump voltages.. OC NB... The basics are the same for OCing.. (Though it doesn't sound too well to call it 'similar architecture')
DP
with that cooler you can reach 4.5 ...one of occ member did using the same cooler with two fans ..good luck nice build
and welcome to occ.........
do not forget to post pics and score,results..etc..

Does this help?

Thx for the link. I will be sure to post my results. I will be overclocking to 3.6 GHZ. I will be using 390 Bclk and a 19x multiplier. This way I will get to use 1520 mhz of my DDR3 Ram kit.
Hello again , Here is a pic of my finished build.
Hope you like it.
