I don't know much of SSD - are they as quick, and reliable as normal HDD's and the 10k rpm?

It will be used for a few games, images / movie editing and various VMware stuff.

Will check out the CX range

Will overclockers build it up at an additional price do you know?

Thanks

Ok i've got the same as what you suggested, but with win7 prof and an extra set of RAM. Makes the total £1,100.

Looks like this is what I will buy, thanks for your help.

Thanks stulid.

Any recommendations on cooling for the CPU around £30?
