Wondering if any of the "old timers" can glance over my spec and recommend any changes that will see an increase in performance for small amounts of money etc!

Yes i realise the conroe can be upped... but the hassle over supplies atm means i may just go for the 6300 until the rest are all out and reduced :D.

Ok swapped out the hdd, the psu you recommended is out of stock. I dont like the look of the lian-li's even though they seem to be incredibly popular. I guess aluminium cases...you just have to see them. The akasa looks ok but comes with no case fans which means more expense :(. Any other case recommendations?

Cheers for the suggestions so far btw :)

Swapped out the cases... going purely on your recommendation :) ... i hope it looks nice.

also swapped out the x1900xt for this one... as its only £5 more and is quieter. Need to check if the werid cooling system affects performance...

Anything else guys :)?


Oh and do i need the aluminium bezels or do the silver drives look ok in the case.
