hello every one,what do you think of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/viewcart.php i know its a £100 over my budget but i don't mind if it means i get even better parts,i picked the 700watt psu because im gonna be putting another gtx275 in it at a later date and so i wont have too upgrade that later on.i was gonna go for the xfx ati 4890 but seeing the trouble some people have had with drivers and cooling im gonna go with a gtx.so what do you think is?,there anywhere i can improve it for less or just abit more money?.its going on a 19" monitor for a few month then on too a asus 22" or bigger monitor later on,thanks and also thanks to the people who replied too my other tread

You can't just post a link to your cart.

You need to screenshot it all, upload it, and then post the image here on the forum.

Nvidia cards have had problems with drivers and cooling as well, there's no reason why you shouldn't get an ATI card because it's what has happened to other people, not yourself.

You never know until you try.

I would suggest dropping that PSU, here is a review.

As a replacement, this one would be far better. Admittedly it is a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
