October 12, 201114 yr This is the system i have created. Am i good to click proceed? I believe all is ok, aside from the Case/PSU. They come bundled with some CPU cooling fan. My aim is to take the i5 2500k to about 4.5ghz, no more. I know stock fan won't give me this, will the one included in the case bundle achieve, or if not can you suggest one that will.

October 12, 201114 yr Author Ok, that is about £24. I now need a case with 650w power for about £100. Any suggestions? overclockers seem quite expensive with their towers and very few include a PSU My system which is due for delivery on the 27th October 2011 Intel i5 2500k 4.5ghz Asus GeForce GTX560ti 1024mb GDDR5 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb 1600mhz Seagate Baracuda 500GB 6GB/s 16mb Cache Cooler Master Elite case Cooler Master hyper 212 CPU fan G7 780w PSU - I know i need to upgrade this! 32" BEKO HD LCD screen FSX Acceleration + UTX, GEX, REX, GenX VFR UK, all UK2000 airports, Mogwaisoft Shade, many Aerosoft Major Airports And...

October 13, 201114 yr Don't cheap out on the PSU if you will be overclocking. You want one to be able to continually supply solid power to the CPU. IMO a minimum of 80 plus.

October 13, 201114 yr Author By 80 plus, do you mean 800w?

October 13, 201114 yr no, its the efficiency rating. I have a 750W 80 plus silver and it run great. Its also usually a rating on the quality of the PSU and how stable it will be when you overclock. I am sure someone else knows a bit more on PSU's than me but all i can really say is, you want a good one. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

October 13, 201114 yr I agree with Andrew, don't scrimp on a few dollars. The PSU is paramount in helping provide you with a stable system. As for cases, I have the Antec 300, which is great and I think it is less than about £50. There are loads to choose from on the market, but again, as with all PC components, find one from a reputable brand.

October 13, 201114 yr This is the system i have created. Am i good to click proceed? I believe all is ok, aside from the Case/PSU. They come bundled with some CPU cooling fan. For a power supply, look at Corsair's AX line, or TXv2. I would recommend Seasonic X750 or 850 but I couldn't find one on their site... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-027-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084 It appears the AX850 is out of stock but the 750 is plenty for a powerful FSX rig. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
October 13, 201114 yr Author Cheers guys. Will order the Seasonic As i am now paying much more for a PSU than i thought i would be, would this simple case fit the Z68 mobo in? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-011-BX My system which is due for delivery on the 27th October 2011 Intel i5 2500k 4.5ghz Asus GeForce GTX560ti 1024mb GDDR5 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb 1600mhz Seagate Baracuda 500GB 6GB/s 16mb Cache Cooler Master Elite case Cooler Master hyper 212 CPU fan G7 780w PSU - I know i need to upgrade this! 32" BEKO HD LCD screen FSX Acceleration + UTX, GEX, REX, GenX VFR UK, all UK2000 airports, Mogwaisoft Shade, many Aerosoft Major Airports And...

October 14, 201114 yr I quickly ran over a few reviews... apparently it's a decent budget case. Skimping on the case isn't what you want to do either hehe. I'm not familiar with it other than the reviews I read. Perhaps others will chime in. Otherwise I'd get a better case. The case is the one component you rarely have to change out - so you might as well make it a quality purchase.

October 14, 201114 yr If it's a budget case your after, I've built a couple of overclocked i2500k systems in http://www.overclock...tid=7&subcat=29 and is good value for the money. Edit: scrap that, saw your going with the Hyper 212+. Great cooler for the price.
