Hi all,

I'm sure you all get bored of these threads but they are so helpful!

Ok I have preferably £1000 to £1200 to spend and can take bits from my current system also (read soundcard etc).

I'm looking at getting:

AMD x2 4400

DFI Crossfire board (Unlikely will use crossfire so would the Asus A8 32 thing be better, altho big cost difference it is a main part!)

Corsair XMS3500LL 2 x 1gig (is this overkill if not a big overclocker, would a nice mushkin twin pair setup be better, saving me £50?)

Radeon 1900 XT - good standalone card, and cant afford SLI so should be fine?

What cooler should I get for the cpu, like something meaty so i have peace of mind but want quiet as possible, any good zalman out at minute?

Case wise - Silverstone JT07

This comes to about £1300 i think, any improvements etc you can suggest?

Thanks in advance!
 
Ok so pretty much only the mobo and ram are up for being picked at.

Can save myself a bit of money and get some mushkin or g skill then, think will go mushkin as they seem good and a good name.

For the motherboard which is decided best then out of:

Abit AN8 SLi Fatal1ty nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-070-AB)
Love the cool panel with this one, anymore info on it?

Abit AT8 ATI RD480 Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-091-AB)

Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-118-AS)

Any other main ideas, pick one for me! :)
 
Just purchased it with the typhoon cooler and g-skill ram

Came to £1238.04

I feel abused but happy to have a new pc on its way!

Thanks all.
