If anyone helps ty in advance for your time. Basically I tend to play fps games a lot, to much time playing wow sadly and at the moment dragons age origins etc. I play on a 24" monitor.

Was going to check if overclockers would build this for me and just wondered if id missed anything or should change anything. My last system has stability issues so i was hoping the o/c bundle with the h50 cooler would help with my worries.

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz Max / Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard / Corsair XMS3 6GB PC3-12800C9 DDR3 / Corsair H50-1 Bundle £715.21

XFX ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £259.99

Corsair TX 850W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850TXUK) £97.29

Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £85.99

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) £76.99

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ) £66.99

Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £18.99

Total inc vat £1336.13

Picked the 850W version as im pretty sure ill be buying a 2nd 5850 sometime soon and only £7 difference between this and the 750W version.

if i was you id wait for the sapphire ones to come back in.

is that psu modular?

you could try hoping for the 2tb hdd which comes in on thursaday at £80 ish

everything else looks good

Ta. Just noticed the sapphire one comes in quite a bit cheaper ty for pointing that out. Power supply isnt modular i believe.

Nope the PSU chosend by the OP isnt modular. The modular version (HX750) is another 25 notes.

Id go for the W7 HP retail version for another 24 notes. This version contains 32 & 64 bit discs & can be transferred to replacement & upgraded PC's provided its installed on no more than 1 Pc at any one time AFAIK.

For gaming have you not considered the overclocked I5 bundle i believe there are two atm, one with water cooling one without. Not much of a difference gaming wise between the i5 and i7, but a large difference in price. Could also think of switching the 1tb to the 500gb, its faster for gaming.
