I assume you have a case and optical drives etc already??

Just get this 285 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-190-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1341 instead of the OCX version for £100 less!

Also with that kind of budget why not an SSD instead of the velociRaptor? especially if you do what wbc1 says and drop the GPU

EDIT: something like this maybe http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-078-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427 - when it's in stock

I just got a 128gb G.Skill Falcon SSD, and its well worth it (note: was from a competitor as OcUK doesn't stock it)
SSD will outperform your raptor by a long shot, is well worth it... I was skeptical at first due to price, but they're just incredible..

Hi thanks for replies. I do have a case and drives yeah so thats np.

I was thinking about getting a solidstate HDD but wasnt sure what one to get and heard some bad things about the ocz ones? So im guessing the one linked above doesnt have any of the problems the earlier ones had then?

Is there any eta on that samsung drive?

Was trying to work out why that monitor was so expensive, then realised you had 2!

InHuman · 10 Jun 2009 at 15:03

hehe yea, Not both for me tho!

Right so it looks like im going to change the HD and the Graphics card then.

Thanks again

Go with a G.Skill Falcon SSD there suppose to be really good. One of the fastest!. I would probably get a nicer PSU Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 650W or one of the new Corsair that are coming in stock soon Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular
