RAM, PSU, Case. Help needed!

[Raised_Dead85]

Okay i already bought the Striker Extreme MOBO, e6850, and the XFX 8800 Ultra 768mb. Now i am looking for the best case to fit everything including cooling systems. There are so many but from what i bought i am asking anybodies advice in which one is the best to go with.

 

Okay another thing the new DDR3 ram can that go with my motherboard? From what i see no but i want to see what yall got to say about it since this board just came out.

 

Now lastly what do you guys think about this PSU i found on newegg website?>>>

good PSU.... will last you for a while

I'm not sure if the Striker Extreme supports DDR3, unless you've heard somewhere else. Here are the ASUS specifications:

Read around their forums for more info, there might be BIOS updates to take care of this.

 

Cases: the Thermaltake Armour (with 25cm side fan) and the Silverstone TJ07 are my faves at the moment

DDR3 will not fit on that board. DDR2 and DDR3 are both 240pin, but the physical notches to fit them in the slot are in different places

 

And really, that board is not new, which can be a good thing lol

 

That PSU is really well done, the only future proofing measure I would think about is 2 x 8pin PCI-E (as opposed to 2 x 6 pin.) It makes no difference with todays GPUs... but the next round of Nvidia and ATI cards may for some odd reason require them. Thats merely a guess though...

That PSU is a great choice. For other PSU options, check out Jonny Guru's website. He is pretty well known regarding PSU reviews.

Regarding cases, that is a very personal choice. I like Lian Li cases, in particular the PC-G70 and the PC-A70. Both are great for my water cooling needs. I am in the process of putting together a new rig in a PC-A70b case. This design is great, it is very modular. The top panel, front panel, side panels, motherboard tray, PSU tray, and hard drive cages are all removable. Easy to put on a workbench and do modding and cutting :)
