    Shouldn't be a problem if you order from www.hardwareversand.de

    My shopping basket from HWV

    2GB-Kit Corsair Twin3X2048-1066C7 DDR3, CL7 69,17 €

    Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R ,Intel P35, ATX, PCI-Express 87,57 €

    LG GH20N bare schwarz 18,89 €

    Samsung HD502IJ, 500GB, 16MB 51,82 €

    Total: 227,45 €
    Delivery is €30 to Ireland and you have to pay by bank transfer.
    Add €80-100 for a copy of vista

    This spec is just off the top of my head to show it can be done for under €600.I haven't used or looked into any of the parts.
    This mobo won't take the newer 45nm quads btw. They need the P45 chipset. It's the same 775 socket

    Sum: 702,43 €

    Total inc. VAT & delivery €732.43.

    Again this is just a quick spec not a recommendation. Make sure your PSU is up to the job for the 4870X2. the Club3D website says it needs to be 500W plus.

    If you already have a hard drive and ram you could use them from your current pc. This mobo can take 8GB of DDR2 or 4GB of DDR3 but not a mix of each. That would bring down the cost to €611.44 delivered.

    If you're on a tight budget and are set on the 4870X2, maybe get the 4870X2 for your current pc and hold off on the ddr3 ram,mobo etc until the new Core i7(Nehalem) chips and mobo are released and you'll get more benefit out of the ddr3. But that's just a thought,its up to you.
