thanks man, and about overclocking my RAM. if I overclock it (i'll probably get the corsair one that you linked) am I gonna need extra cooling things? like a spare fan or something?

also, will my computer be fast? I want a fast computer : / but not like gawdly fast.

Oc'ing will produce more heat... But with the Antec 900 I believe you will have no problem... If you notice high temps then certainly add more fans...You can add extra case fans, an aftermarket cooler, and a fan kit for the ram... Not all of this is necessary just a possibility.

By all rights this will be a fast machine before you OC it. But it reportedly OC's well (A good OC is about 15% over stocks speeds, or a final speed of 3.45ghz. Some people get it way higher.) My AMD 7750 stock speed is 2.7ghz Oc'd to 3.1ghz which is about 15% OC

OC'ing can create instability in the computer if this occurs you need to back off the timings, It is not a set it and forget it type thing... Sometimes it can take weeks or months of changing settings to gain stability...

The OC will shave several seconds off of processing times. You can benchmark the system before and after OC'ing to see performance enhancements...

You will be very happy with the Corsair ram. They have an excellent support forum if you need any help,(and also the common method of Customer service)

I hope this helps you out...

Good luck

1 quickie:

are these things like the razer deathadder and lycosa the exact same from the Razer official website? cuz they are like 20 bucks cheaper. Or did newegg do something cheap to them?

From what I can see about both of those products they are exactly the same.

Newegg: doesn't do anything to make them cheaper. They just sell so much volume that they have large volume discounts allowing them to offer a very good price.

According to the specs on both of the products they mirror that of the offical site.

hope this helps.

Good luck
