Never really considered an Intel system TBH. Ive not been keeping an eye on the market recently, last time I was building a PC AMD where considered the bast value.

I'll have to reconsider my options now.

As for the system your suggesting zap I would prefer an Asus mobo if possible + you have added 2 lots of RAM

I want this to be as high a spec as possible with the money I have set aside. Keep them comming guys.

Hi M8

Thanks for the reply. The PSU I'll be using is:

FSP Sparkle FX700-GLN Epsilon 700W ATX2.0 PSU (CA-001-SK)

I think this should do the trick

Would it be worth spending the few extra quid and go fot the

ATI Radeon X1950 XT-X ***Crossfire/Master Edition*** SILENT Heatpipe 512MB GDDR4 (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-051-CO)

??

Also how will this system stand up to the new DX10? Would it be worth holding out for that and any new cards on the market?
