Sorry i forgot to ask a few questions..
Which SSD would be better?
OCZ Vertex 2E 120GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive?
or
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB 3.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive?
Also whats the best cooling unit for the processor bundle?
I dont mind making the bundle go over budget is the H70 is worth the extra little bit.
Thanks.

What res you playing at? There's a refresh from both ATI and Nvidia so might be worth waiting...that's if you can of course!
Does it really have to be an overclocked bundle? i only say that because if i was spending £1500, i would want more than 4GB of ram and a better motherboard.
Drop to an i5 and get more ram and a x58 mobo.
Dunno about that like, retail at least has re-sale advantage. Win 8 is scheduled for Q4 2010 is'nt it? i can still see people wanting a copy Win 7 come that time.

i7 has more than 4Gb, these specs have 6Gb.
i5 and X58 chipset are not compatible.
only the 8** series, which none of these specs contain.
soon to go the way of the DODO, with Intels new Sandy bridge architecture coming early next year, first with a new socket 1155 system to replace the current 1156.
yep, 1pin difference makes them incompatible.
isnt that the year of release ? lol
but seriously, im sure I read on one of these tech sites that the pin count is going up a lot due to a quad channel memory controller.
have a look at these roadmaps.

there is a 2011 something or other.

Well you guys have just confused me a bit with all that talk above lol, I am not keen on waiting really as i wanted it before christmas. I accept that new things come along and replace the old types, but thats a constand chain with PCs really.
What to do
lol
What to do
lolI have xbox.. and ps3.. and that crappy little white one.. whats it called a Wii? yeah thats the one..
But lets face it.. PC Gaming is by far the best! (Cant get world of warcraft on consoles...

Thanks guys!!
