save money by getting the ip35 or ip35-pro if you dont mind the slight performance drop for crossfiring from the p35 chipset.

get a smaller case if you want, but for the task of holding everything in that spec the v2000 is in my opinion the way to go, besides it will hold any upgrades you have planned as well including watercooling.

physics cards are not really worth the money as not many games support them but its your money so add one if you really want (i advise against this)

add a bigger or more hdds if you require.

save money by getting only 1 Graphics card unless you have a very big monitor or game at a vey high res.

TBH i have been out of the PC loop for about 3 years due to the new job/wife/house etc..

My current spec is in my sig, what i want is a PC that will run crysis/farcry 2 nicely.

i have a 19" TFT that i wont be upgrading so i geus max res will be 12x10.

Do i needs SLI im unsure...

thanks for your help

as i said budget is not that much of an issue but was aiming around the 600 quid but can go up if its worth it. Also i forgot i already have a case so i dont need one!

my choice if around 600 is the budget
 
i think it will, but the corsair is a much better PSU and the PSU is the one area you can not cut back on.
