I already have the Toshiba HD, PSU and ram.
Over the next few weeks I'll be buying odds and ends as the prices drop ;) So these parts arn't set in stone.

Just a few questions on the parts, chances are it won't be overclocked.
Is there a great difference between the 1gb and 2 gb 7850 cards ?
The new i3 3220, decent bang for buck or better saving a few quid and get the Sanybridge or even a Pentium and upgrade to an i5 later ?
Finally the mobo, it needs to be 2 x sata III, better off with the DS3H or for the sake of £6 or £7 just stick with this one ?
 
I'll just add, this is updating from and AMD 5000 x2, 2gb ram and a 1gb 5750. Should i see a big difference ?

Changed some bits for you.

• Faster/better SSD
• Low profile RAM
• Cheaper HDD

Keep the D3H, it has Lucid support, the DS3H doesnt.

Big difference.
 
 
Is there much of a difference between the 1gb and 2gb 7850 cards ? the MSI OC one is at £120 this week.
