Thanks for that mate, I must admit I did think about it for a bit but I do have a really nice 3D TV at home and I hardly ever use the 3D on it if I'm honest... Although maybe on a PC it might be cool with the graphic capability... Gah now you got me thinking again lol!

any particular reason your going for 2011 socket over the ivybridge 1155 ?

do you plan to sli the gfx card, if not the psu is over what you need.

ssd wise have a look at the crucial m4 or the samsungs.

Hi mate, was based on a post I made in that section, going to go for 6 core to future proof myself a little, also I'm potentially going to be doing some virtual stuff so those extra cores may prove handy.

Ok I'll take a look at the 2 SSD makes you recommended, can I ask how come you recommend them over the one I put up, just interested as I want to learn.

for the ssd purely on cost/quality, the m4 has been recommened around here for a while and the samsung is showing to be a decent product as well.

the Crucial RealSSD M4 512GB is only £330, so depends if you'd make use of the space, the 256gb version is available for £192.

Great thank you very much, think I'll go down that route then and those prices are nice too
