i still dont know wether to go quad so if i was i would choose
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...aranteed to run at 3.00GHZ (1333FSB) - Retail
 
hmm just saw that !!
520 modular is same price and should be more than enough to power everything
also got 3 other hdds and dvd drive to power.
 
Dual VS quad debate is a hot one to handle but general rule is if it's purely for gaming go for the higher clocked dual, and this is coming from a quad owner. Very nearly all the time when I tab out of games my system monitor widget shows that only 1 or 2 cores have been stressed.


thats kind of the answer i was looking for as i would be mainly gaming and browsing net watching films and occasional encoding of films.

ok pretty got my finger on button to confirm as long nothing has gone out of stock in past 20 mins !!!!
 
ok button pressed and order confirmed :)
will do build thread when everything comes and see what people think and can advice on overclocking.

thanks guys
