thats gna eat some games lol

a few changes tho mate

look at the corsair PSU's over the CM ones

if that case looks nice to you and works for you then by all means get it,but there are better for the money

if you watching blurays on a 32' screen then keep the bluray drive if not its poinltess fella

the samsung f3 is faster and cheaper than the cav black

look at crucial and kingston SSDs even corsair force

thanks guys for your speedy response i will have a look at you suggestions

[AMDFTW]

o and also look at asus 580's or the MSI brand

[koryusai]

Would a Corsair AX850 850W be enough to power this beast because I want a min of a silver rated psu and what SSD would you recommend?

[AMDFTW]

TBH i assume you will be overclocking the CPU and the cards

so i would get 1kw PSU just to be sure even as just headroom and futurebility

i would go with the corsair IMO

Am i the only one to notice that the DVD drive is IDE?

If your going to get a blueray drive there is no need for a dvd drive, let alone an ide dvd drive.

[AMDFTW]

LOOOOL

yes apparently you were mate.

yer unless ut gna watch blurays on a 32 inch tv then ditch the bluray drive

I have a 28" at the mo but it will be upgraded to 32 after xmas.

with the biz of the dvd i wanted to get a dvd burner as i don't want to use the blu-ray drive as a dvd burner. i want to use it as a blu-ray burner
