Ahh, I wasn't even serious if a girl can do it I'm sure I a 12 year old could.

I'd hold of on the sandybridge upgrade until intel sort the chipset problem.

How long would this be? I wont be getting it until a few months.

Apparently they removed the fan/cooler you guys linked, which is the the best one to get?

edit: My uncle built his old pc, so I think I'll build it with him (still learning about computers, but not damaging £800 of tech

)

This AKASA VENOM - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=hs-072-ak&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

And the sandybridge sata port issue will be sorted by then, manufacturers have already started to pull stock back, and new revisions of the chips are being made ready.

Looks Great, Thanks for the link, and the info on when its going to be fixed

One more thing, should I invest a little extra in an SSD? I know they cost quite a bit, but they seem to improve boot times by a large amount from what I've read.

Wait for Intel and Crucial to release their new SSD's, again these should be out by the time your ready.
