I already have Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard etc... and will be getting GFX card the following week or so.

The card im looking at is: MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [6950 TwinFrozrii-oc]

Can anyone see any problems or advise differently ?

Cheers Guys.
 
Im not completly sure about the case though?
And also missed of a Psu, i have had a look at:Lepa B-Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
£72.98 inc VAT
£60.82 ex VAT

I know it's pre-order and new but sounds ok ?
 
the lepa (enermax) PSU's have been getting decent reviews apparently. if you are using one of them make sure you order before the 30th because thats when they come in stock, and the special preorder prices dissapear
 
I have a hiper 750w atm.... (yup im in the hiper club) and i have to admit it's been faultless untill 2 weeks ago when it fried my mobo and my 8800gtx oc2 :/

Yes i will be ordering on the 29th !!

Any other suggestions for cases ?
 
I read some reviews that the
Cooler Master CM-690 II Advanced Dominator Case
is a decent case - I am using the NZXT Phantom and love it, great if you like the design.
