Looks good, I would personally go with buying parts and building the PC myself, have you any PC building skills? Can be a lot cheaper as well.

Ive never braved building myself, I considered it, but I dont trust myself, Id be more inclined to try on a simple project, I dont think practising on those parts is a great idea.

How much is that little lot going to cost? I'd ditch the hiper psu if you can and Abit will cease to exist as from 1st January. What sort of warranty does this come with?

 

[deaddog]

Its costing £1,595 with delivery, one year warranty collect and return, or 3 years with one year collect and return for £45 extra. Thanks for the tips.

Hows this for a differnt psu, its seems well rated

I reckon if you choose a spec on here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=43 it will be better and cheaper
