Please let me know if this setup is a good one that will work!

FYI when you copied the text from your thread @ Tom's Hardware, none of the links came over. Next time you copy from one forum to another, edit the post and copy the text from the edit window.

 

System looks fine, but no guarantees that you'll be able to OC your CPU high enough to get the memory to run @ rated speeds.

[JNCrutchfield]

can i edit the first or repost in same thread?and can you give me a little more detail on the cpu and ram you were talking about?

Thanks

[JNCrutchfield]

i got the edit, links are up now thanks again

[Wired]

I as referring to the specs that you posted.

[JNCrutchfield]

Should i get slower ram so i can use the speed , ram is my weak point and do not understand, is there a better ram to use with that setup? and can the cpu clock that far with a h70?

[Synbios]

1000 watts is overkill unless you plan on getting one or two more video cards, or 10 hard drives.

 

Rampage 3 extreme is also overkill unless you plan on using 4 video cards. The Rampage 3 formula is almost identical but it has one less PCIe x16 slot. If there are other differences then let me know, but I'm pretty sure that's the main difference between the extreme and formula. Unless you plan on doing quad-crossfire, the extreme is overkill.

 

the i7-9xx's use DDR3-1066 by default so you'd have to overclock to use anything higer than that such as the DDR3-2000 that you've picked out. Most people get 1600, I think it's pretty safe to use that.

 

Normally the RAM runs off the "bus" by a multiplier or whatever you want to call it with the i7's but you can also run RAM out of clock so technically you can overclock your RAM without overclocking anything else.

Agree with Synbios, DDR3 1600 RAM (PC3 12800) is fine and should save a few bucks, Rampage Extreme adds little over the Formula, maybe Bluetooth and an extra PCIe slot for an extra $100, maybe also look at the ASUS P6X58D-E mobo to save more bucks and finally the 1000 watt PSU is overkill unless you plan to run multiple video cards, save some money again with a 750TX, 850TX or even 950TX watt unit and of course the HX modular units and the AX Professional series run a little more if you really need/want them, but they may be overkill for your build.

 

But if money is still no object:

 

CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMT6GX3M3A1600C7

 

Or this to save some money and you do not need the memory fan kit:

Thanks for the help guys , thats why i asked , im tring to future proof the system for a max build later when needed is why i picked the r3e, i will look into the r3f now and see , also can the i7 920 hit 4.2 stable with the h70 cooler?

[McShack1]

Supershanks got the R3F with an i7 920 running stable on air @ 4.1 and hit 4.3 on water. Read his review and see his results at the Clunk.org.uk forums:

[FlawlessSoul]

See sig - I have the 920 on an H70 @4.2Ghz, no sweat. It was running just fine with an air cooler before @4.0Ghz (Titan Fenrir).

[JNCrutchfield]

that ram is no longer avalable?
