above is the build I've gone for as recommended by superewza but after phoning this through I picked up a mag and read a review of processors. The AMD phenom ii 955 has an amazing write, much better than the 945 I've gone for but is only about £8 more expensive.
So should I buy the 955 instead and return the 945 and delay my build by a day and how much will OC charge me for the pleasure?
Cheers for any advice :)
 
Thanks ejr22!! Although I agree I didnt hink too much about it !!
I did go for the Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H as the UD2H wasn't in stock
Wasn't going to overclock the system so do people think the 955 will be better in this system??
