Hi there:)


Amazingly you can get a more powerful wattage PSU for less money,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-057-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

Can I suggest a full size ATX motherboard,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-368-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

And £125 for a 6850 is not as good a deal as a 6870 for £4 more,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-040-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866

Also don't forget a heatsink for the OEM CPU, or get the RETAIL version.

Hope this helps:)

Did you know that the case is out of stock:( as for trying to shave a little more money of your total, this RAM knocks £3 off,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-057-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

There is cheaper Crucial Ballistix RAM, but I just cant bring myself to suggest it as it has 10-10-10 timings:(

OCUK have a DVD rewriter going for £14,
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-099-LG&groupid=701&catid=10&subcat=951

Thats £6 saved:) all helps right?
 
oh nice, guess i just need a screwdriver then :) are there any nice cheap gaming cases around with a window and leds? :)
 
damn it, work have just cut overtime untill after xmas :( so now ive got to find something a bit cheaper that can run
