Hey guys, I'm soon to be buying a new PC!:D I've spec'd a system but I'm just looking for some advise and comments.

the Pc will mainly be used for gaming but I will also be doing coding / image and video editing



Looking for a system around the price off the above !

thanks in advance!!
 
could drop the psu to xfx 650w modular psu, hard drive to samsung 1tb F3 and maybe mobo to a cheaper crossfire ready board like the ud3h 890gx or the ud5 890fx. may i ask wats wrong with the one in your sig and maybe up the cooler to a akasa venom or titan fenrir evo.

EDIT: damn should have refreshed this,,had it opened on a separate tab and left it lol

That motherboard looks good for the price, but I've never heard of biostar before, do they do 'good' boards?

Biostar been around for a while, its only now that OCUK have some stock.

or this Asrock is £100 and does crossfire at 8X/8X - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-041-AK&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1782

this gigabyte is £104 and does 8X/8X - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-251-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1782

or this gigabyte does it at 16X/16X - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-281-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1782

My Current rig is being sold to a friend who needs a fairly new system, thought it would be a good opportunity to sell mine to him and get and upgrade :P

I was thinking, do you think a 650W psu would cope with another 6870 if i upgrade in the future?
 
Wow thanks for the advise so far guys, down to £856 so far! So, if you can think of any improvements you would make that don't cost too much would be great! :D
 
I think the memory will be okay, changed the fans to Titan Fenrir, I am thinking off filling the case with low rpm 140mm fans then I think I will be done! :)
 
Hmm any idea on how quite those fans really are, after all the fractal design r3 doesn't have enough room for a fan controller behind the door?
