is this right for me?

what does that clock speed mean? will the sapphire one work just as good as the 7950? Yes when OC`ed it will be on par with a stock 7950.

and also is the psu watt enough and will the case be big enough for the gfx card? More than enough to OC Cpu and Gpu. tHe case will take a card up to 450mm long, so yes again.

sorry for the 20 questions...very new to all this.

Changed the PSU as Corsair's are not great, graphics card as the 7950 would be better for the future and I appreciate grade-b products are not for everyone, but you still get a guarantee & it keeps the cost down.

A little over budget. This "B" grade board does`nt seem to be missing anything and is xfire capable. The Gpu and cooler will fit in this case, although you could look for a case you prefer, around the same price.

awesome stuff, would this case be ok?

If that is what you prefer, would`nt be my choice. But cases are personal, so just choose one that you really like and it meets your requirements.
A few other choices, though not to many decent cases in that price range.

right then, that's that sorted. i want to thank you all immensely... Idleman you have been brilliant. as long as it all works together. and also as long as i don't bugger it up when putting it together! ill hopefully get to talk to you again once im all up and running. wish me luck.. and any hint and tips that can help me along the way would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks again.
 
Take your time, completely strip down the case and install fans and things (unless they're pre-installed) before touching any components.
 
You`re welcome.
Just remember to take your time. Whilst working on the mobo outside of the case, remember to lay it on the box it came in or turn the anti-static bag( mobo usually wrapped inside one these) inside out and place it on that. Read all your manuals carefully and follow the the installation guides, they are very informative and will help no end. Also, you can watch a couple of video tutorials whilst you wait for your parts to arrive.
Don`t forget, any problems, you know where we are.
So, good luck and enjoy the experience.

Thanks guys.. I've just realised for the time being I'm going to need a wireless adapter until i sort my phone line at home. Will the mobo I bought support a internal wireless adapter?

Were is best to ask on this forum for a rough estimate of how long it will take from ordering the good to receiving them when going through the finance option.??
