E4300, XFX nVidia 6501 Ultra,4Gig of OCZ PC800 Plat, Inno3D 800GT overclock edition, WD Raptor , Matxors in raid 0 for non critical data. the only expensive item was the Raptor , all the rest is quality but non cutting edge kit. Oh one last thing this score was on Vista 64 Ultimate.

decent price for a good card, how long was it on pre-order?

About 7 working days mate but I think the supply issues are mostly resolved now . This whole rig was supposed to be an interim solution but TBH this rig will play anything I throw at it ( Cysis in Very High mode being the only exception ) with consummate ease .
If I where building a rig in the new year I would probably go for the same base system but with a Q6600 CPU because its cheap & over clocks like a monster & the star buy for 2008 has to be the Radeon HD 3870X2 which will be very fast due to AMD's investment in crossfire driver & cheap like £300 for a card which should beat out the G92E ( dual G92 ) set-up and be DX10.1 compliant.

ive just 3d marked my card - but it dont really mean a lot to me - Are they good results? Link to my results

Stonking CPU score mate , bet your overall score rockets when you give the 8800GT some over clocking !

been readin up on the ol Overclockin front - I may try tomorrow = depending on how long the old lady hangs about the house .

I've never Oc'd on my own got El3h to do my last pc

any one know of a good guide to overclockin? or fancy helpin me through it

Best advice, be bloody careful!

Took me a good 6 hours of reading Kev, its pretty simple for the CPU once you get the jist of it, GFX I allways did with software like Ntune or something.

Just google how to on your cpu make ect when it comes to OC, plenty of read me's out there.

As Craig said, be careful. Up it a bit at a time and test ect.

theres loads out there - been readin alot.

Some of the advice say use teh Oc programmes others just say use Bois so there is something you can fall back on - as in you cant if there is a problem or bug in teh oc programme.

it seems everthing i read leads me to believe i shoud be able to get mine to 3.2Ghz

Shags I will help you out mate if you need it , I have been overclocking everything I get my hands on for a decade & have had not burn outs of failures to date .
