have a look at the Saitek Cyborg V3 mouse.

Corsair XMS3 8GB memory is on offer at the mo for £48.

if your ordering keep in mind the "for this week" offers, think they change on a thursday.

re the i7, pc wise how much time you likely to spend gaming and how much editing, anything over 60/40 in favour of gaming i wouldnt bother with the 2600.

from a quick look around it seems to depend on what sort of processing your doing, and maybe the graphics card in the system, so might be worth posting up what software you use.

hopefully some people around with something a bit more solid, information wise for ya.

if CreMafia is happy with ATI cards then i would recommend that one in a heartbeat, especially since it can be turned into a 6970.

heres the comparison of the cards. i'll let you make your own mind up whether the price difference is worth it for you:

also, good choice on the asrock gen3 motherboard, its what i would have recommended
