I think by getting rid of that watercooler, getting the cheaper gskill ram and an F3 HDD, you can get a 5850 instead.

Harddrive is slow.

Spec a samsung F3 or western digital black.

You can also save a bit by going for the Phenom II 955 and overclock it yourself.So this is how it should be:

So other than that everything looks ok?

stulid · 22 Mar 2010 at 11:21

Yes.

Edit. If you order before midday wednesday, you will save a few pounds, the psu will go back up in price.

Yup looks nice.

Nice rig, and always nice to see someone else go green

jv2907 · 22 Mar 2010 at 13:32

I will buy this in half hour, does anyone else have any other thoughts before i press the big red button??

The motherboard is out of stock, can you search under the sofa for some more money? A sata6gb and usb3 motherboard would be more future proof.
