Hi there, what do u think of this spec? also is there a big difference between the spec i posted and i7 system? main priority is gaming.

Get a 275 or 4890 instead, go for a 750w Corsair or Be Quiet and don't go for the Green HDDs because they aren't very fast.

i was planing on adding 2nd graphics card on the next year, thats why i picked up the 1k w psu. btw why do u suggest to go for gtx 275 or 4890 instead of gtx 285? i am trying to get a cheap rig but i want it also to last for a whyle

so i want it to be decent.

you can get a 4870 x2 for £250, that might be an idea, depending on its use and res

Go for the 4890, that mobo only support crossfire, not SLI.

And if you add a second PCI-e GPU it will only be x8.

To get x16 and x16 go with the vaunted MSI, which is on offer this week:

No, but only a few do support SLI, such as the 780i chipsets.
