Alright, while i've been inactive on onrpg over the past few days. I have pretty much been hyping for the packages to arrive from amazon, and checking the tracking number every other hour, for an update of status :P. I decided to purchase my parts from amazon rather than newegg just for no-tax and free amazon prime.
The Build:
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Midtower (Hand-me-down)
EVGA x58 SLI LE Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 d0 Stepping (Bought from Microcenter for $200)
Xigmatek Dark Knight
6GB DDR3 1600 OCZ Platinum
EVGA 9800GTX+ (Yeah i know its bottleneck, but also was hand-me-down, isn't that bad for only 1280x1024)
750w PC Power and Cooling Silencer Quad
640GB Western Digital Caviar Black
Sony DVD Burner -oem (But expensive as f*** from microcenter)
I paid ~$700 (Including microcenter tax) for everything except the Video card, case, and power supply.
I was just wondering if anyone experienced might have some useful guide or the such on how to overclock i7 processors, since its pretty new to me. And i was just wondering how i should gain internet access upstairs, if i was to place the computer there. My family's router is downstairs in an office room, and i've heard bad things about Wireless PCI Cards and gaming. Any suggestions?
Just built my first pc :) w/pics
