Can someone look over this spec please. I think its mostly ok but is the power supply sufficient? I have a video card (4870, upgrading to 5870 when available). If someone has any suggestions to make it cheaper feel free. I thought about the M225 SSD but everything keeps pointng to the intel as the one to get.

I want to get the 4ghz bundle because everytime i buy stuff seperately i can never quite get the overclock i want.

I dont want to upgrade for 18months or so.

Are they, this is my third corsair in 4 months and once the warranty runs out im getting rid of it. My mates had an OCZ in his rig for a year and a half no problems. I went with the corsair because of advice from here but looking around the web seems to be quite a few problems of late.
 
The thing is a case just doesnt matter to me. My PC hides under the table and never comes out. I would rather have a bigger HDD etc.

Thanks for the replies, this whole SSD thing is a nightmare. Now im wondering whether to go down the Raid 0 on 2 M225 64gb's? Anyone have any experience?

Well according to a recent post by one of the Dons, OcUK get more Corsair returns per units sold than OCZ (although both are very low) so you may have a point. Although when not very occaisionally blowing up Corsairs have more stable supply from what I have gathered in reviews.
 
To be honest never had an issue with either OCZ or Corsair so buy what suits you if it does the job.

The case may be under the desk but think of space some GPu's will be very snug if fit at all in that may be an issue in the future.

You are also spending a lot on the system might as well do it 100%
