Ok, so i just had a look and yanked out what looked similar to the red cable, but it was a single flat cable and on the plug thingy it said ATA, is this the right thing or should i be looking to spend an extra £15 on a dvd rw, also it has a seagate barracuda 250gb in there, would i be able to put this in with the 1tb just for that little bit extra or would i be better off leaving it?

Similar to that.

Then if the drive is the same, you can keep it for the build.

You can add your 250GB drive (is it SATA also?) as a D: drive just for some all purpose storage.

i didnt really look at it but i think it was the same.

it also had a some small cpu cooler on there, does the i5 come with one or will i be looking to reuse that to?

I have been looking around at some other build ideas, and im wondering what would be a better graphics card and motherboard, the ones i have chosen or these?

The retail CPU comes with a new heatsink with thermal paste already applied.

The Gigabyte board you had previously is better.

The 6950 is a better card than the GTX560ti, but then it does cost more - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/293?vs=330

Ok thanks, i was going to go for the Gigabyte 560ti which is £199, but the 6950 is only £5 more right now so i think i might go for that. + i get 2 games id be more interested in with it ^.^

If I was in your shoes I would get the cheapest GTX560ti @£169 or go all out for the 6950 2GB card.
