MUTILATER Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The parts Zeno quoted are on the ball, I only will say this bit ... Overclocking ..different Fan as many better ones like an Ultra 120 or a Gemini 2 with 2 x 120 fans. As for Striker boards ... Do you really want to go sli ??? ... Really ! ( If not don't bother) (Personally i prefer A-Bit boards and Asus second) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
