Hi all,

Can I have your opinions of the below spec please?

Any suggestions or comments on what i have chosen? I have Keyboard and mouse and monitor.

I will mainly use for D/L'ing and Gaming.

Are they fine compatibility wise?

I was umming and erring about the RAM and the HDD. Any recommendations?
I've gone for 2GB as i will upgrade to 4GB later on. I dont really need a 750GB HDD, but I have one IDE HDD which i will add, so i can down grade the HDD i have below, and add more when needed.

Ideally I wanted to fast HDD to run Vista off, and another HDD for installing software, D/L'ing.

Also, i want to overclock at some point so looking for reliability in that respect. Any thoughts?

OCZ StealthXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply
(£58.74) £49.99

Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD753LJ)
(£105.74) £89.99

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM - 1Pk (66I-00788)
£59.99 (£70.49)

OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
£141.99(£166.84)

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
£141.99(£166.84)

Total : £841.21

Any potential problems you can see here? or improvements? Or different components which do the same thing at a lower price? (Not asking much, lol)

Thanks all.
 
Just re-read my original post, and half my spec didnt paste:

Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
£109.99 (£129.24)

OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR800EB2GK)
£41.99 (£49.34)

Antec P182 Special Edition Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Mirror Finish)
79.99(£93.99)

I'll look at the other HDD's thanks.

Any more thoughts on the spec above?
 
Thanks, looks like it will support the tuniq tower, judging by the dimesions. Any one actually got these together?

Is the graphics card ok, is there any better ones for similar price?
 
Coolio, So had a little tweak and come up with this:

Hows all this look?
 
Great, I was going to add a cooler a little while later when i start to overclock, i'll use the stock one until then. The Tuniq one looks like it will fit, judging by the dimensions.

Has any one got the P182 and the Tuniq Tower?
