Ok anything else i will need?

I've decided to go with the X2 and hopefully the MS and AMD hotfix's work. Hopefullt this will all work, this is a lot of money for me to spend lol my old man thinks im bonkers...
 
lol - mine too! :)

That looks like a good spec - it'll be a rather fast PC!

I'd make four small changes personally:

I'd go for the PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-PC) - a little faster and cheaper

I'd change this to the Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-070-WD) as it's a faster drive

All good, the Dual Core X2 4400+ is the pick of the X2 CPU's.

But definitely go for the faster & cheaper PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 over the 7900GT OC.

As for the burner i would get the Samsung SH-W162C 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) (CD-068-SA), which is a very quiet burner over the Sony.

Not changing to SATA cos ive never srt 1 up so cant be having with that lol and the PSU i dont think theres nothing wrong with it and its a good brand so ill stick to that.
 
Do you need the SLi mobo noww that you've changed your mind to an Ati card? Perhaps a crossfire mobo instead
DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire (Socket 939) Motherboard (MB-017-DF) or one without either SLi or crossfire if you dont plan on adding another card.

Zeph
 
Yeah, if you're going to get the X1800, dump that mobo as it becomes pointless. If you stick with the 7900GT, you can go SLi later on. Choice is yours.

Im not quite sure what your saying here, but you should definatley go SATA.
 
DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire (Socket 939) Motherboard (MB-017-DF)

thats out of stoock could you advise me on another board?
 
DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-014-DF) if you dont plan on adding another card.
or
Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-131-AS) if you do. Perhaps someone could comment on this board better than i as i'm not sure how well the crossfire is working on Asus boards atm.
 
I dont plan on adding another card any time soon think ill go with the other 1

thanks a lot.

all done, ordered :)

appreciate the help, no doubt ill be back when i come to set it up LOL !
 
I wouldn't have changed to the DFI motherboad personally - the ASUS motherboard is one of the best that you can get. It's stable, fast (faster than the DFI) and it's still a good clocker, although not quite as good as the DFI

It isn't pointless buying an SLI motherboard and an ATI card if you only ever want to use one card. You have another 16x PCI-E slot for whatever you want - a second graphics card for more monitors perhaps? SLI later on with a graphics card upgrade?

The chipset fan on the DFI motherboards is also very noisy. At least you didn't go for the DFI Crossfire board - this isn't a nice board

It'll still be a nice PC but if you can change it do!
