Have a chance to buy a nice gaming rig for $2500 but was wondering because its overclocked is it going to cause me trouble later. I added up the parts and it would cost me 3500 to build here in Canada. So should I be jumping on this deal or pass? Should i get him to run 3dmark06 for me. Was going to just buy a dell xps 710 but this cheaper.


CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz Overclocked @: 3.4ghz

Video Card number 1: BFG 8800GTX OC2 Overclocked @: 626/2060

Video Card Number 2: EVGA 8800GTX Overclocked @: 626/2060

Ram: G.SKILL 2GB F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ Overclocked @: 1133mhz, 5-5-5-15

Heatsink/Fan: Tuniq Tower 120

Powersupply: Silverstone Strider 750w

Motherboard: EVGA 680i A1 (A2 firmware)

HD (Boot): Western Digital Raptor 10,000RPM 74gb

HD (Store): WD3200KS Western Digital 320gb Sata

Case: Lian-Li V1000B Plus

scores 17500 on 3dmark06 on avg.

Thanks for any info

    Those are great components, but you need to have him run the following tests:
    ORTHOS and Prime 95 for 24 hours.
    Memtest for 24 hours

    If those both pass, then I'd feel fine buying the system.

    So i should email him to run ORTHOS, Prime 95 and Memtest for 24 hours and I will come tomorrow to see the results? Or do each one them have to be run alone. He has couple people interested so like to get soon before it gone.

    Prime95 and ORTHOS can be run together, Memtest must be run by itself. Give memtest 8 hours instead of 24, so you can get your hands on it a little quicker.
