make your mind up lol heheh just respecced my system :P lmao totalk spend with ocuk is 1700 squid:Dthe mrs loves me honest!

cheers 32 vista ultimate it is then and i may nip the 260 gtx in the 896 mb should be fine !!!!na sod it 1 gig it is as if was gonna go sli i would need a diff mobo :D also means that i can save some money on ram as i was gonna stick 8 gig in but only need the 4 now means i got some extra brass to spend elsewhere possiby the xfi pci card thanks again appreciated

heheh hmmm nope!;) gskill as far as i know has been given great reviews thats why i went wih it was gonna go with ocz its not that i want to oc honest!:D but the option to be able to get some extra juice out of my system is appealing glad to hear that 700 watt psu is gonna be ample as i was warned by that i may need to get to 800!! and as for the case well its not a question of money!ps i aint a millionaire :p i like the look of it too the idea of an x fi card is appealing but the mrs would go off it!!!!! if i have it going through the speakers. Have to have earphones in to play :D the graphics card now as many do i ummed and ahhhd for ages on this decided with the 4870 due to its gddr5 granted its only 512 mb!:p anyone else with any thoughts hoping to get the parts in the next week or so btw vista 64 i agree not much running at the moment however in the next 18 months or so that should change but point taken and thanks for taking the time to share some advice :cool:

thanks all i am sure i will:)

i could not agree more! however i am unsure as to how i can install and run two o/s on one hard drive would i need to partition it? btw the 2am thing i am with you on that my partner and four kids however :p:D so you dont think 8 gig os overkill have you seen the 16 gig kit available now! :eek::D

hmmm may i ask why not vista 64 :P and thanksd for the reply as you can see its mainly for gaming:D

no worries cheers:D
