Two things here. Why are you getting that stuff off of EBay and why aren't you getting this mobo or this mobo with that processor?

Those are too expensive.

Drop the CPU down a little.

Get a different case.

Don't buy from ebay.

www.overclockers.co.uk

Have a look on there.

Two things again. One, you have that exact same set-up...or at least very similar. Two, I only matched up the mobo with that processor. If he is gonna get the expensive processor, might as well get the mobo that belongs with it.

overkill on the cpu.

No ur right, he needs a better mobo and that WS PRO is a really good choice.

But guys do not forget. Q extremes communicate faster with the memory so even though he might not OC it is still a very fast setup.

1 whats wrong with the tower case?????
2 QX9650 cpu is cheaper on ebay then overclockers
3 i need a mobo that i can use 2 workable pci slots and the 8800 covers 1 of pci slots this why i got a mobo with 3 pci slots

1. for £70 you could do MUCH better
2. Yes, it is ebay.
3. My wank OEM M-ATX Mobo has 3 PCI slots so I think it's safe to assume most ATX mobo's will have more ..

most motherboards i've seen recently only have 2 pci slots. my nf4 and p35 board both only have 2. If you have 3 pci slots on a matx board then it is old tech unless you mean you have 3 pcie and pci combined.

Don't buy from ebay please, cut down a little on the CPU and get a better motherboard.

there are plenty much better mobos with 2 or more pci slots.
Also QX9650 is HUGE waste of money.

my Asus P5E X38 for example has two pci slots that you can use with dual slot 8800.

edit: qx9650 is for dry ice/LN2 overclocking and it sounds like you aren't going to do that... q9450 can OC just as well with normal cooling.

I wouldn't say it is a huge waste of money. I think that if he doesn't plan on overclocking the processor, then it would be an ok buy, if he has the dough for it. Not everyone buys a processor just to OC it. But like I said, if he has the money, he can pretty much buy whatever he wants, even if it might be a little overkill...I would buy it...if I had the money.

hehe tbh I wouldn't buy it. I would rather get Q9450 and 9800GX2 for the cost of one QX9650 lol

Scorpion0x17: can detect anyone's visible post count...; +691|7037|Cambridge (UK)

Everyone before the tech team got here: Why are you all saying don't do this, and do do that, when you haven't even asked him want he wants it for, how much he has to spend, and so on?

Please, make room for the professionals...

Richard: 1st up - ignore most of the above posts.

OK, I'll try to sumarise the important parts, and not give you fanboy do-this/don't-do-this-ism's...

1. Really, don't buy off ebay - you can get good quality components on ebay, but equally, you can get ripped off - buy from a reputable source.

2. What's your budget?
3. Do you plan to Overclock?
4. Do you forsee buying a second video card and running SLi?
5. What's your intended use for the machine?

6. The QX9650 is a very nice processor, I'd buy one, but you can get a better performance-cost ratio with other processors.
7. The mobo you've chosen only supports DDR2 - DDR3 would be a better match for that CPU - but it will bump the price up.
8. If you will be SLi'ing at some point, you'll need an nVidia SLi mobo (or an ATI GPU) - the mobo you've selected is ATI Crossfire (and the GPU is nVidia) - for nVidia SLi and DDR3, look for one with the 790i chipset - for ATI Crossfire and DDR3, look for the X48/X38 chipset (but make sure it is DDR3 - some are DDR2 only, some DDR3, some support both) - again, this will bump the price up.

9. What's your budget?

But you would have to OC that pro to get a similar performance of the QX9650, wouldn't you?
