Hey forum!


My pc is used for gaming
My budget is £70 for ram and £85 for mobo
Parts to come from the UK only
I've currently got:
CPU: AMD FX-6100 / CM Hyper 212 evo
GPU: Radeon HD 6870 1GB
MOBO: M5A78L-M/USB3
RAM: Kingston value 1333MHz 2x4gb
PSU: OCZ 650W

Planning on overclocking the fx-6100 to 4.0-4.5GHz

1920x1080 resolution.

Planning to buy today!


So i think that's the template sorted... hehe

I've been really struggling to find a decent motherboard for cheap but i think i've found the best one based on reviews and forum banter!

I've read everywhere that this baby is great for overclocking and would like some clarification or suggestions.

Second is the ram, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Since on amazon uk all the 8gb kits cost around the same, is the beast memmory the best from kingston? I'm open to suggestions to which ram to buy on the £60-70 mark

Thanks!

Pretty much the same as your other thread. CPU is fine, memory is not listed but probably fine as well (The Gigabyte page lists the ...C9D models, the one you have picked out is the KHX16C9T).
