Posted a few days ago about getting a new rig but decided with the 8800's coming out I'd up the budget a bit :D:D

So next wednesday I'll hopefully order an 8800 GTX if theres any left :D

Got about £1300 for the rest of the rig :)

Was thinking Conroe with 2gig ddr2 and a 150gig raptor (will add another drive later for storage)

Will be coupled eventually to a 24" TFT at xmas time hopefully :cool:
 
So the 8800 will be in stock to buy next wednesday?Nice rig by the way,also do you know the price of the G80 will it be more than £400?

Change the 8800GTX for an 8800GTS and you will be fine...

8800 GTS
E6600
ASUS p5W Deluxe/ABIT AW9 MAX (or other x975 based mobo)
2GB Gskill 6400 HZ

SHouldn't be too bad if you save the cash. :)

Ive got the money for a GTX?!

What do I need case/psu/cooler etc wise to get the most out of it?

CPU and GPU will be clocked :D

lol... mistook burtieb's post for yours... was in context for the thread, sorry about that. :D

Change my rig for a GTX and add an OCZ GameXtream 700w, a Tuniq Tower 120 and as for the case that's usually a personal thing... decide for yourself. :)

Well to be fair Seasonic and Enermax are probably at least on a par with the OCZ and may be better but the Tuniq Tower is better. :)

Case-wise I'd be looking at the old faithful - Akasa Eclipse 62 as it is still a great case with good cooling and airflow.

OCZ customer service is second to none... and that counts for a lot... and the Seasonics/Enermaxes are in my opinion only on a par if anything, not better. And that's backed up by countless expert reviews and user experiences. :)

Was tounge in cheek, hence the smiley. Nice to know you're so modest though, I like it. :D

If your buying the 8800, I'd consider the new nvidia 680 chipset motherboards due for release at the same time as the 8800s. It's supposed to be pretty damn good! :D
