    im going to put all this in an aerocool masstige, BTW i got an coolermaster aquagate mini from ebay on the cheap and was wondering if it would offer better cooling than the stock HSF that will come with my 4400? Im not looking for other suggestions, just want to know which one to use, the aquagate mini 120 or the stock hsf

    Well, you can get a PNY 7900 GT for $60 cheaper. I'd say change the RAM, because you've got all this high end stuff and some rather crappy RAM. Even if you don't OC you should still turn up the FSB. Turning up the FSB and turning down the multiplier can leave you at stock speeds, but increased memory bandwidth. I think it's well worth it, but that's my opionion.

    $60 is worth the lifetime.. even XFX is good to look at :) power sensitive cards + lifetime = excellent, esspecially for resale.

    thanx for the input, would it be worth it getting a 4200 instead of a 4400 and using the money saved for some better ram? does 1mb cache really make a difference. BTW does any one have any thoughts on the coolermaster aquagate mini 120mm in place of the stock hsf?
