Evening Gents,

I know this is definitely the place to come to get advice on a new spec, I have around £900 for a new gaming rig. I know that I would like the new phenom snazy case and a couple of SSD's in raid 0 to get some crazy I/O speeds? anything else is by your recommendation.

Thanks for your thoughts.

i don't need any peripherals. Whats the difference between ITX and mATX? I am guessing the processor type? so for speed I guess going with Intel?

I don't think i will need the space for multiple graphics cards, single slot should be good enough.

I think the ITX would be fine

Also quick question, With a small case like this is it recommended to go the water cooling route, to make sure everything is ok with temps etc?

Some quick questions from me: what size SSDs do you want? And do you need two of them? Do you have a 3.5" drive from an old rig that you can reuse (assuming you want one)?

I not super bothered about size of SSD, around 120gb would be awesome. I will just usb my old drives if I need any space. I think its best to concentrate on speed?
