Save that RM 500, buy E6300 and OC it just like me .

i duno how 2 oc lah..im not pro actually.but i willing to learn...last week i duno wats the ram use for ...now i understand more IT stuffs

recommend me psu and casings pls...and pricing

For PSU, only get those with true power ones, this will surely help lots in OC.

For casing, it's up to your personal preference and taste, usually enthusiasts will go for Lian Li casings. Thermaltake and Coolermaster are good too, you might have to take them into consideration.

examples brand for psu pls....coz i duno how much should i pay for..im not planing to OC first..wait me be more pro 1st lah...haha...this can or not Antec TruePower 430W PSU

Enermax and AcBel produce excelllent PSUs, I'm not sure about Antec.

^example u can choose OCZ, Enermax, Antec, Fortron, Coolermaster(onli get the 550watt above), FPS..

i think that was easily can be seen in market

anyway...i think i wanna buy E6600 and overclock...lol...OC when im pro enough...so i will get enermax 550w ...quite dam expensive...rm500+...

anyway..if oc,do we need do settings like bios something like tat....nid to type a lot of codes???...

What codes? U think u doing programming?? Just need to apply the settings and change it, nothing difficult.

Oh...that means it is easy to do OC but u hv to take risk la?...does those pc seller know how 2 oc and can help me do?...once OC...the ghz will forever stable rite?

OC is very easy only la, just change a few bios settings and save it. If unstable try to change other settings, once it's tested stable it will quite likely remain stable forever unless u are overheating

Dun forget to include aftermarket heatsinks and fans for cooling! Especially for cpu and northbridge.

what is aftermarket heatsinks ...how much does it cost for OC...and the price of fans...plus what is northbridge???..T_T

^it was the 3rd party HSf
ppl intend to use coz the ability to handle cpu temp better than original Hsf
ofcoz the higher the price, the best performance u get

Aftermarket heatsink is 3rd party heatsink u can buy at most computer shops. Normally u get one when u buy a cpu provided by manufacturer ie. intel/amd.

Unfortunately those are not adequate for o/c purposes. Recomend u get Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX as it wont interfere with ds3 backplating. cost about RM 190 from Compuzone or RM 178 from Modernopc.com

Northbridge = Wiki Northbridge
The higher the fsb=the hotter it gets.

Recomend u get Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II. RM 89 @ Compuzone.

Also mebbe u shud wait 1 month b4 u get Gigabyte DS3 cuz manufacturer releasing Revision 2 adding C2Q support.

Oic..im planing to get my C2d and all my sets done at next year la...Gigabyte DS3?..how much it cost?..expensive or not..izit a mobo?hows the performance of it...

gilabyte ds3 currently cost around rm540

oic...k la....so im going 2 buy this...so hows the E6600 performance?

ATX iCute Casing 5000watt SideTransparent + 12CM Fan 250

shall i use this psu and casing?..looks cheap and can support up to 5000W...lol...
