are you stuck on that ati card? I can't say the price is worth it

what is the resolution you are going to be playing games at?

no liquid cooling is easy as 1 2 3 check levels once a month, if needed add a bit of coolant, with the haf you can just do that from teh outside change liquid once every 5 years

I'm sorry that was the first thing you posted.

then the gpu is great for you

the only thing would be a psu and looking at the specs the 1000w should handle 2 just fine

W2484, I wish we could find the people that write that stuff and line them up and then whoop their arse.

I'm so tired of people that don't know nothing but start to write articles as if they know what they are talking about.

forget all that stuff, that is the only thing I don't like about the internet, people who don't know nothing can write stuff and you would have a difficult time telling the expert from the wannabe.

we must ask ourselves, why would DS, Dell, HP and many other pc makers offer OC systems with warranty, if oc is bad and they lose money?

answer is simple, shoot the wannabes, cause they are wrong.

because oc is just fine, pc makers do it and offer warranty on it, they do so cause they know that its just fine.

those same wannabes, thought they were OC experts too, tried to oc and burned their cpus, so they decided that since it was a bad thing for them, its a bad thing all the way around.

just once before I die, I wish I could line them up, just once.

lol hope that answers your question, and remember when you see a wannabe expert do this:

anytime boss, anytime

By the way what can a the OCZ DDR3 1333MHz clock too usually?

its your CPU that your are OCing, to get a good speed, what you do is match the FSB speed of your CPU to your ram speed.

we have done that for you already.

you have a q9650 chip, with this chip you can expect OC speeds of 3.8 to 4.0.

Now remember I don't work for DS and DS doesn't guarantee any OC speeds before you buy the system, that number is based on what I have seen around


to figure what your ram can OC to

you take your ram and ÷ by 2

1333 ÷ 2 = 666.5

then you multiply that by the multiplier of your CPU.

q9650 has a multiplier of 9

9 x 666.5 = 5998.5

so theoretically that ram should let your CPU OC to almost 6.0GHz, which I don't think your mombo can even do.


now remember, your OC speeds won't be no where near that.
