Opinions would be great :D cheers

The Case is not negotiable (pretty much in love with it)
 
Very nice...no gfx card, psu????

Couldnt comment on the cooler, but that mobo is very good, ridiculously cheap and recommended by a lot of pc mags....u wont find many reviews on it though so if ppl start attacking it i'd bet it was more because they havent heard a lot about it as opposed to them really having anything bad to say about it!
 
Ahh right yea forgot to add. I have a 1tb hdd, 600w psu and a gtx 460 (will be upgrading at some point)

So keeping a few old items
 
Well in that case i'd guess you are sorted,although very shortly bulldozer will be coming out and even if you dont want an amd cpu its release will lower the price of the i5....

Cheers for the replies guys.
 
no one knows what performance BD will bring, if it doesnt come close to the performance of their SB counterpart, then i doubt Intel will lower the prices.

Very true....but i doubt its not gonna come close...it might not be better but all it needs to be is close and cheaper and it will sell...so intel will drop their prices.....but as you say no way to know for sure
