Had a major system failure last night and need to replace all the main components. I will be keeping my 2 Spinpoint F1 1TB disks (which appear ok still), DVD Burner and Antec Sonata case. Figured i might as well do my graphics card too as i have an ancient 8800GTS. I'm well out of the loop of hardware these days so would appreciate someone to cast their eyes over my proposed spec. This is slightly more than i was planning but seems to be faily future proof and decent mid range spec. So here's my basket:

OcUK Motherboard Bundle - Intel Core i5 2500K & Asus P8P67 Intel P67 Mainboard £292.00

MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE 3D Mark 11 £149.99

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9) £119.99

Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 700W Power Supply £74.99

Thanks in advance :).
 
Considering i only had an x2 6000 cpu and 4gb ddr2 the whole thing should fly compared to how it used to be. Just hope my hard disks are working properly still.
 
Just been thinking it might be an idea to get a sata 3 hd. Had a look and found the crucial ssd c300, thought it might be quite decent as the os drive. Would it be worth it instead of my spinpoints? I'd keep them as storage / game install drives. Also, the drive is 2.5, does it come with mounts to fit in a 3.5 bay?
