thank you!!! i was looking for g.skill ram...saw loads of US sites, but none in the UK apart from one which was out of stock...

the G.Skill spec is the best value for money for spec for sure! but...how reliable is it?
 
think I got my answer...I'll post up the final final spec shortly though...in the correct section :)

G.Skill are extremely reliable mate, my brother has had the same sticks running fine for near 2 years. :)
 
the last concern i have is the psu...

are the Coolermaster PSUs good quality? Will it really put out 650W?
 
they are dude, there's alot of other brands pretty good aswell, i would go with corsair HX series and ocz mod Xstream pro aswell, both are modular and work pretty good (also cheap)
 
where's a good place for cases? if i buy the PSU separate, I don't want to spend too much on a case...not really seen anything I like on ebuyer
 
£20-£30...if it's something SUPER sexy i'll pay £40 :D

all cases come with a rear fan right? is it worth having a front/top fan too?

hey dude, have any particular choice? like mid tower / full tower / a brand you like? if not i will search for some cheap cases (but good ones)

look at this site they have cases and other gear for you if you need another one i give ya more.
 
looking for an ATX tower...I guess that's a mid tower? I'll check out that site right now...I'm after something simple and black to match my samsung tft which is piano black
 
that is nice! but twice what i want to pay :(

...i'm thinking i might just put it under the table...carpet dust won't be an issue as the floors are wood...so maybe a cheapo £20 black case would do it...

i really like that lian-li small box aswell, shame that its mini

hmm thats bad then :(, the 690 is one of the best budget cases from cm, i will take a look at other stores on other brands aswell :)
