Why not save yourself £30 and buy the Giel 6400? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-GL

Thats if you don't plan to clock the RAM much, if your looking for high overclock then look at the 2gb Ballistix PC5300, it clocks above 1000MHz

Case is a waste of money in my opinion, unless of course you want to burn £40 get this

What resolution will you be using?

Thanks for the reply...I have been playing with this for days.....Here's my thoughts..

I have read about problems between the P5B and Geil RAM. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17659100

Tried to choose from the QVL but could only find the adobe manual version

I agree on the case. I want something big enough for a GTX if I upgrade. I initially chose the Lian-Li and still like it but have read it is a bit tight....

res is 14x9 but I want to be sure I can pick up good textures as that develops.

That all said....I DO NOT want to waste cash. This is my very first build and I am learning as I go.

One other...Is it time for Vista yet.....Most peolpe say no.
