I can't speak for the AMD processor, always used Intel but with a spec like that, I looks pretty good.

As for the cooler, I'd opt for the Titan Fenrir, which costs about an extra couple of pound, heard some great reviews with the i7, and the i7 gets pretty hot ! And I just checked, it has fittings for AM3 mobos too.

The antec 300 is a great gaming rig with plenty of cooling power, its neat and not over the top imo.

I would get two smalled f3s (320-500) and connect them in raid 0, be much faster and I've also heard about how loud the 1tb version can be, watch out.

Thanks for the input.

Looking at that cooler now and deffinately going for the antec 300. May just get a 500Gb on it's own as i've had one for years and no where near filled it up so i'm thinking a 1TB will be overkill when i can add it when needed!

Bigger is not always better mate, I bought one 500gb but wish I went to a 320gb x2 in raid 0. My mates have it, so much faster, its shocking for the low price !

Check out the reviews online.
