Hey guys,
Finally I'm able to order my "Summer, No Uni Work For Four Months and Time to Game Like Crazy" parts for my new PC.
I've bought the 5850 already. My budget was £550, including Monitor, no OS.
So that leaves me with £450.
I've got this:

Total : £470.21
£33 for shipping :O.
If there's any way possible I can lower the price, please do it.
I want to have a monitor with the resolution like the one above as I don't want less and can't afford a better one
.
I'm not planning on Overclocking yet, but will do in about a years time so I can get a Cooler then.
I may Crossfire that card with another in maybe a years time too. (does the board support that)?.. and will obviously get a bigger wattage PSU then too.
I could go for an i3 but with the 955 overclock next year, would it be worth it? Plus I'll be very happy with the speed and power of the computer at stock speeds I reckon, for now anyways.
Mainly a gaming computer, hence the machines name above
.
Thanks guys
