    stuck over here in the US on a P3 atm, driving me mad.

    http://secure.newegg.com/app/WishR.asp?ID=1404414

    Does this all look compatible to you guys? any recommendations?

    I will be happy to wait a few months before upgrading gfx card(s).
    prob should throw in a case fan or 2.

    What do ye think I will be able to OC this up to?

    Thanks,

    Brian.

    The graphics card isn't great. You really need to change it for something better.

    I'd get the DFI SLI rather than the Asus, apart from that and the graphic card, it looks good :)

    Does anyone know if the thermalright xp-120 is fully compatible with the dfi lanparty SLI.

    I think the fourth DIMM is blocked by it :/

    otherwise i think DFI is the way to go. Outrageous money for a mobo tho :]

    Get the XP-90. Shouldnt have a problem with the DFI. The temps are only 1-2C difference.

    Mmmmmm................. linkie for the HS
    Seems it supports 3200+ and upwards so would do some googling.
    whats the cooling spec on that case? if your goin SLi you may need a bigger case with better air flow

    EDIT: if you go water cooling get a better case(window),you want to look at your beauty in action dont you tongue.gif

    If you're going with the DFI-SLi then go for the XP-90, the Xp-120 has had some fitting problems using RAM slots 2+4, which are the recommended ones for Dual Channel.
