My new RIG :)

GTX 285 is a massive waste of money mate. For that amount of scratch you could get two HD4870 1GBs which would be a lot faster.

I'd definitely consider this, for the same price as the BFG 285 you want, you can get 2 1gb XFX 4870's, which will be so much faster.

(which i know is arguable, but still :P) let the man splurge

This is very over exaggerated IMO. In 6 months with a 4870X2 the only problem I had was with FEAR 2, and it was fixed a week after the game's release :)
 
Your setup is good but i woudn't get a GTX 285 it's performance doesn't justify it's price..Wait a month for 4890, and it will be as good as GTX 285 for a lot cheaper.
 
yep i could get 2 of those and that = more power + more noise. but i don't think its "splurge"...ask yourself how much you have spent in the last 6 year on computer components? me = £0. im sure most of you in here have spent easily that over the past two years on upgrades and brand new systems yourself.

quite simply i want Nvidia i have had Ati before but don't like the software, drives or the kit and have had nothing but problems with them on my brothers PC. we use nothing but Nvidia in work to so im sticking to what i think is best...if it cost me 60 quid more or i drop 2 or 3 FPS who cares. i have saved up for this and i think its worth getting what you want if you can afford it. its an essential tool that i use everyday so its important that im happy with what i finally decide upon!

trust me im gonna be well happy with a 285, i currently have a geforce 4 4400 Ti : )

i will get an SSD when i upgrade, these are a waste of cash right now i agree there,

again thx for your help

As an owner of the hush I must say it wont fit your needs really. It isnt very spacious and there is no cable management, so for such a killer spec I would look at a slightly more impressive case. Hope this backs up your decision not to go for the NZXT.

Yeah, ignore the 'why not get a 24"' rubbish. Get as big as you can afford mate.

worst advice ever, get what you want, not what you can afford. i'd rather have a nice 24" and spare cash than wasted cash and a pointless bigger screen. don't spend just because you have the cash, unless you actually "NEED" to
 
Exactly - I have a 24'' HP w2408h, which is quite frankly stunning. For the same price, I could have got a 28'' Hanns-G, which has carpy picture quality and looks cheap.
 
yeah thx neon, i originally liked the hush but that was before people on this forum pointed me towards the Antec P182 or the cooler master one, going to check the sizes tomorrow see how much bigger the two are compared to my present ATX.

i agree metamorphpwner there is a lot of rubbish monitors out there esp 26" - 30" ones thats why im getting a 26" Samsung i know its a good monitor i have seen it in action ; ). tho TBO all the samsung i have seen recently have been really good so its a no brainer :)

cheers
