Looks good. Are you going too upgrade the graphics in the near future though?

 

[Guywoody]

well there's always the possibility of getting another card and running it in in Crossfire so i wasn't planning on upgrading it.

Personally ide save some money on the mobo and go for an 8800GTS.. coz the X1950 is last gen...

But its up to you.

 

[Mr. Smith]

Are you planning on using Vista? If not then you won't see any dx10 freatures from say an 8800, but it will play dx9 very well and be able to handle new games for some time. The x1950 will struggle soon.

If you can, hang on a little longer, save a bit more and get a 320mb 8800gts, think you can get them for £170 now...

The rest looks really good although those sticks prob won't do over 1000mhz, the cellshock 6400's will.

well that mobo, from what ive researched, seems to be the best p35 board available so im gonna stick with that.

i was thinking, instead of the 620W psu i can go for the 520W, also if i take out the HDD as i have an average one atm, and can always buy one later. That'll save me a few ££ and then i can get an 8800

also about the RAM, i was torn between the Super Talents, Cellshock and G.Skill, but i have found 2GB of the Super Talent stuff for £50. and the Super Talent sticks are supposedly one of the best overclockable kits, comfortably going over 1000mhz. so therefore i can get 4GB for the same price as 2GB of the Cellshock/G.Skill
