Buying again...it's been a while

[BlueHooHoo]

Would anyone be kind enough to have a look, and point out any obvious clangers!

It'll be mostly for gaming and I'm not really intending to overclock just yet, but I'd like to have decent (if not uber) performance. For old times sake I've stuck with Nvidia, haven’t really tried ATI for many years.

I have a case, Tagan PSU, speakers, mouse 'n keyboard.

Recommendations and comments heartily welcome.

Get the 7900GTO, cheaper, faster, twice the memory, quieter etc.

It all looks good although as Raikiri suggests the 7900GTO is probably a better bet. LabelFlash on the DVDRW is possibly a bit of a gimmick but NEC make good drives so I can't see any harm in going for one anyway

Thank you both for the input.

The GTO card is better. Order now changed

Cheers

Because I'm paranoid and have been the industry for far too long (the second probably accounts for the first) I'd add a second HDD in a RAID1 with the first.
