How's this for an i5 gaming rig?

Minus a GPU, for now - waiting for ATI's 5 series.

The Geil sticks seem a really good deal, considering their timings and frequencies.

OK - some slight revisions.

You could save £15 by going for an OEM version of the CPU.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd rather have the piece of mind.

Also you're paying extra for SLI support, I'd drop down to the P7P55D or jump ship to a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 and save another £20-30.

I'm not only waiting for benches/prices on ATI's 5 series, I'm also waiting to see if their release will drop the price of the current Nvidias. I'm happy to pay the extra for SLI support, just in case.
