Hopefully Ordering Today...

I currently have...
-Pentium 4 3.0ghz
-2gb Corsair value RAM
-XFX 7600GT
-Some generic motherboard

I'm thinking of buying this...

I game at 1680x1050, CoD4, CS:S etc

The only questions I have are...

1) Shall I get the GTX or the 8800GTS 512mb?
2) Is the motherboard I have chose a good one? (I don't really know much about them)
3) What case do you recommend, with the potential to go watercooling in the future, for around £90?

Thanks, I'm hoping to order by the end of today and for it to last for 2 years or more! Steve

I'd get the GTX, seeing as they're a similar price.

The motherboard choice is an excellent one.

Case I'd recommend is this one:

Plenty of space at the front for a radiator.

Cheers.
I am leaning towards the Antec P182 though and is the Corsair 520 enough for the 8800?

Thanks

If you want it to last 2 years and the price of ram get 4GB.

yes 520 watts is more than enough for the card.

Cheers.
Anymore suggestions before I order the above with an Antec P182?
