Well the Blu-ray is SATA, its just that modern boards dont have IDE any more, so if the Samsung is IDE then you may want to get a new DVDRW for £17 or just use the Blu-ray which burns DVD's also?

Thanks mate

Is the MOBO easy enough for me to overclock with?

Some results and useful little guides there, getting 4.5Ghz wont be an issue, the stock intel heatsink is good for 4Ghz, so if you want higher and to keep the temperatures in check add a £25 cooler such as a Gelid Tranquillo or Corsair A50 or Coolermaster Hyper212+

Brilliant mate

Looks like an easy choice:)

2 more questions:

1) Am a bit of an ATI fanboy. Is the NVIDIA you note better than the equivalent priced ATI?

2) Is 4GB RAM enough? What about £8GB for a few more quid?

Cheers :)
