Ananokki Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hello, I am looking to spend ?1,000 on a machine which will be used for encoding video's, gaming and also streaming media to my PS3. I would like to overclock but i thought as this is the first machine i've built that it would be easier buying the pre clocked setup? Also, what cooling measures might be worth taking into considering if i'd be running the system at 4ghz. I hear the Corsair H50-1 is a great option? I've looked at the following components, are these a good choice or is there anything i've missed or worth changing? i7 bundle including Corsair H50-1 - ?600 Sapphire HD 5850 - ?229.99 Corsair HX 650W - ?94.99 Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced Dominator Case - ?85.99 Samsung F3 1TB - ?64.99 Sony Optiarc AD-5240S - ?16.99 Thanks for any advice.

richardsim7 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It'd be cheaper to build it yourself rather than buy the overclock bundle and do it yourself (trust me, if I can do it, you can :p) Check my sig ;) Oh and the Scythe Mugen 2 is a brilliant cooler to consider :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/878714--/#findComment-592284040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananokki Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I had changed my mind about the bundle, I just couldn't be bothered to change the links and all that so I thought that would give a rough idea, haha. It's much of an improvement over the H50? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/878714--/#findComment-592284046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardsim7 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Not sure but all I know is the temp increase from 2.6 to 4ghz was minimal, and it's very quiet :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/878714--/#findComment-592284052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
