[caserman]

thanks lemin i think i might take a look at some ati's also see if there any good

That OCZ PSU is somewhat lacking connectors if you ever decide to try SLI/crossfire:

- 1 x 6-pin PCI-E
- 1 x 6+2-pin PCI-E

I'd suggest going for the Antec instead despite offering 50w less output power:

for £135 the ati 6850 competes very well with the gtx 460 at most resolutions:

Yeah i was looking at the ati 6850 they look pretty good i might look round for one, with the psu i heard OCZ were quite good didnt look much at the antecs and the reviews were good to go with the OCZ.
I think ive found most of my build now though, thanks to these posts. But i do need a mouse and keyboard ones that are everday but can still game on for around £50 for both.
