Is this system gonna be compatible with the case and are all the parts gonna be compatible with the board.
If you can think of better replacements then please do say them although ive reached my max spend so please try not to list things of a higher price.

Also can you tell me if this is a good gfx card for my needs, will probs only go as high as 1024 x 768, thats all im used to now, may go a little higher. Do i need 512mb? cheers please suggest replacements.

Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.

Saved up £1100 and I wanna get my first build right first time. If theres anything else I may need that isnt listed above then please say.

Thanks in advance,

Lee.
 
My heads up my ****.

All I want is to build a Pc, something superfast and class for gaming.

why does there have to be so much choice.

If someone can help me choose a good system for my needs then please do.

I have £1,050 total not 1p more.

I want superb gaming quality.

Are those 2 drives for RAID 0? If so, I wouldn't bother. I run 2 raptors in RAID 0 and notice no difference over a single raptor.

I just want 1 drive to use as a backup thats all.

As for graphics cards, get yourself MSI's 7900 GTO which is on special offer at the moment. Its a 7900 GTX with clocked down memory & is too good a price to miss.

Couldnt find that gfx card mate.

If anyone can sort me out with a good list of kit to buy for my budget that I will actually use to its full extent please let me know
I doubt that I will overclock, I know absolutely nowt about ovverclocking so until I feel I do then it wont be happening.

Thanks lads,

P.S if you think I dont need to spend that much then cool let me know what to buy :)

Lee.
