This thread has become absurd !!! AmazingDan, the last thing you should be doing is trying to build a machine. I would hate to see what the thread would look like if you put one together and it didn't work. No offense meant to you, I just think you're way out of your league. IMHO.

You've been given tons of advice but you don't take it & it doesn't seem like you've done any research about which components work best with each other. As I've said several times now, the best board for an AMD CPU is one based on either the AMD 780G chipset or one of the AMD 790's (790X, 790FX, 790GX)...& make sure the southbridge is either the SB710 or SB750, especially if you plan on overclocking. Both chipsets support ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) & are superior to the older SB600 or SB700. You don't need a ton of fans in the case...it's just a waste of money, it will most likely be noisy & it won't necessarily make your system run any cooler. I provded links about cooling in your other threads, you obviously didn't read any of them. AMD recommends a single exhaust fan in the rear of the case - that's it! Front intake fans are of little or no benefit. Side panel fans are disruptive to the "front to rear" airflow & should be avoided. Tests have shown that a single 120mm rear exhaust fan is all that's necessary for optimal cooling. And you don't need an aftermarket CPU cooling fan. The CPU comes with one - use it.

im now going for an intel but thankyou for the advice jam, your a computing god lol Samsung 32" HDTV Logitech DiNovo Mouse and Keyboard Logitech X-540 Custom Built PC Sky 80GB PS3 HDMI

hi now ive seen the other post , yes Jams suggestion is one of the best mobo's for the £100 pound mark http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145751 Asus P5Q PRO P45 Socket 775 as this mobo has copper pipe cooling splashed all over it the fenrir cooler may be very difficult to fit as it uses back plates, (overclockers.co.uk also stock it ring them up for advice, & price for build / set up OC etc ) Do your sums on the budget and dont get carried away like you seem to have been. I m suggesting , 'steering' you to a better rig which will last longer spec wise than what you were proposing. Like buying a car, eg mondeo , or the ST mondeo , same cars, very different performance. & Read jams links on case cooling. 120 mmm fan x1 (with leds if you must, i do :) I dont visit the OC section so missed your post, & generally dont advocate OCing, just buy the best for the job. the E8400 will suffice for your needs for quite some time "as stock! especially with the 4870 tho id wait till nvidia bring out the next wave of cards after the summer, you may have missed last years massive price drop war ati vs nvidia. your money your choice & take some time to read other links/ posts there is no quick & cheap when the blue smoke genie appears.
