DatsMagic

thanks for the advice on the 5870 card. i'll check some reviews

i just reread this. So your saying if i buy 2 kits 2x2g i'll be in triple channel mode? because tha'ts what i was planning to do. its not the memory thats dual channel its having the 3 memory sticks in the 3 slots. Right?

Are you a gamer? Thanks everyone for your responses, very helpful.

thanks guys this really helped but can you guide me about cooling the northbridge. should i worry about adding the northbridge to my loop thus buying GA-X58A-UD7

The drive needs some idle time and a bit of free space for GC to work with. ok explain this a little for me please. I'm new

the cpu memory and video

thanks but i thought this was triple channel memory. I'm using the compatible list here http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/Memory...ga-x58a-ud7.pdf what does the triple channel column represent? As for the 930 and 940 i again am going on the compatibility list i found on the board. If i go with the ud7 board it only shows the 940 as being compatible. Please advise.

Please help. I see everybody still running raid on SSD's even though TRIM is not supported. Is it really worth it? How long before i would see the effects of no TRIM. I'm a gamer.

Thanks again. I'll take a look at the guide

Thanks that answered it perfectly Can you help with with the tubing and fittings, pump and res is should use? what size 1/4 or 3/8? I was trying to get quality and style.

Sorry if i sound stupid i am a noob at this. But if I'm using a i5 750 the bus speed can only reach 1333mhz without OC so that would mean i would have to OC to get the bus at 1600mhz Right?

Im gonna be building this rig and i want to know if i need to do any cooling for my memory? I plan to OC to 1600 with my i5 750 Intel Core i5 750 LGA 1,156 socket with Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme Mother Board GA-P55-UD6 VideoCard 2 ATI HD Radeon 5850 crossfire with 2 DD-Summit Block Hardrive Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 Memory [ Ripjaws ] F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM Microcool Banchetto 101 Clear Modular Case

I'm also going to xfire my 5850's. My question is can you have to much power? I was just thinking of getting 1000w just to cover myself for any additions later on.

After doing my research i was under the impression i could clock faster speeds running xfire 5850 than one 5970. Plus this is my first build with water cooling so I want to spend less in case of a meltdown
