You might want to get the ram and boot drive before the VAT increase???

I need the rig for the beginning of the year, so it's going to be 32nm Sandy Bridge.

Good to know I'm not the only one on this board! My plan is the buy the boot drive and ram on either Newegg and NCIX's Boxing Day Sale. This lot of stuff was all bought on NCIX's Black Friday Sale.
