New build. Still good spec in 2008?

I'll give my thumbs up for the GeIL ULL.

I have it - great stuff

D.M. - Can you repost that picture?
Its just coming out as an X on my PC!

VortexA1, you have almost the exact system that I am going to build!
In fact, it is exactly the same!
How was the build? And what CPU cooler have you got?

I am now looking at the Tuniq cooler, as it has built in fans...

OR, there is a nice CPU water cooling unit that i've seen, that's around £80...

Well, the usual Apps, internet, bit torrents etc.

I am mainly going to be using it for gaming. The games i've ordered are :
Crysis
Call of duty 4
Command and Conquer 3
Bioshock

I've got a 22" Samsung monitor too. if that helps with the advice!

I've got a Leadtek 8800GT on a 22" Widescreen and I can max every setting on CoD4 and every other game I have with flawless performance. The only game you wouldn't be able to max on is Crysis but that will be the case with any of the cards out now.

For price/performance the 8800GT is the one to go for in my opinion. Cheap enough to upgrade soon if you like the new crop, if not, can sell and swap for a GTS/GTX.

I read a really great review of CPU coolers that included the Thermalright Ultima 90 and it was only just behind the Ultra 120 Extreme in terms of cooling power but a lot less weight to strain your motherboard.

Hope this helps

Peace

Thats why it doesn't work. my proxy in work seems to think its an evil picture!

Where did you see this CPU coolers review? I think thats one of the last things I need to look at. Along with which one will fit into the Anec case, which I guess is pretty important!
