well, thanks i guess i could ask to change the cards over if i dont open the box n all that, yeh i have a lian lee case already and 2 1TB HDD.

(WESTERN DIGITAL HD SERIAL 1TB UDMA 300 5400RPM to 7200 RPM 16MB)

Edit: Yeh it seems my system will cream crysis on high from what my friends say and from some posts in this forum ie computers slightly slower spec in terms of ram and cpu's with same gpu running at max with a nice 30/40 fps. CANT WAIT FOR THESE BABIES TO ARRIVE XD
bah the only problem will be removing all the old stuff from my old case and doing a clean install of the OS. BAH!
Kinda panicked as, even though i have installed components hundreds of times im still nervous about this haha.

Well ultimately i will be using liquid cooling in the near future. So what i will do is make a vid for youtube of the set up and also a semi tutorial perhaps. Plus i will post some Screenies of the OC on both the CPU and GPU. The Case is an Black Aluminium X navigator, Had it for a while but its a solid case with loads of room for expansion ie 7 PCI options and about 5/6 Fan slots. With the option of 4 Sata HDD and other Media slots as well.
