Hi guys.....
Am just about there with chosing all the bits for my new build - have to say that I have changed my mind about each component about 5 times there's so much choice!
Could you cast your eyes over it and confirm it all looks compatible and suggest some alternatives to any suspect pieces......I also include a few specific questions at the bottom. It will be a gaming rig. No immediate plans for SLi or overclocking, but will probably overclock at some point. Want Sli capability.
Cheers!

HDD - 2 x WD Raptor 150Gb in RAID 0 - c£321
Power supply - Enermax Galaxy 850 Watt modular - £175

Total - £2,535
- Are the CPU/memory/motherboard all compatible and a decent choice?
- I want a decent case and power supply that will last and be as future proof as possible. Is the Silverstone case the best under £200 with decent cooling and looks?
- Is the Enermax Galaxy a top drawer power supply? Looks it!
- Need a few fans for the case - want LED ones that are silent (120mm) - can someone recommend some? Cheers!
- Keyboard - Want a decent gaming keyboard. Want illuminated keys and some macro keys. Decent short key strokes would be good as well - I have gone for the Logitech G15 - is this decent? How do people find it? Which other gaming keyboards are they?
- Have gone for XP professional - wise?
Thanks very much......getting very excited !!!
