can you check this please ?

the top ocz ram kit is 6x1gb for tri ram optimisation, does that mean i can run 2 sets of 3x2gb kits ocz kits ? hence 6x2gb

this is what i got so far :

Also wondered if all that will fit into an antec 900 case ? If not can you recommend another case ? thankyou

According to your sig you already have a GTX 260, why spend that money just to get the maxcore version - you won't notice the difference.

Also £469 for RAM... some people have too much money.

And any particular reason for the 1000W psu?

And yes that will all fit easily into the Antec 900.

With that kinda cash i would say wait for the new AMD chips to come out and see what you can splash your cash on.

12Gb of RAM? What will this PC be doing other than depreciating at a huge rate?
