Hi all I have just placed my order for my new PC build parts with OC.

I purchased a Thermaltake element S case elsewhere as OC didn't sell it with the side vent and fan.

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 3.80GHz Max / Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard / Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz DDR3 1 X Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366)Bundle

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 850W ATX2.2 Modular SLi Compliant Power Supply

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM + Windows 7 Upgrade Voucher

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (WD1001FALS)

Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (WD5001AALS)

Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM

Total cost including case approx £1,200

Let me know your thoughts on the system and i'll probably be picking your collective brains for help during build time,:)

If i was you bud, i would have went with 2 500gb's black and raid them in raid 0, also, mabey bought the corsair 850w could be a bit cheaper, and could have waited for the new 58xx series, but overall great machine there, take pics building it?
 
Yeah I know the PSU is too much, but I went for future proofing as I may go SLI or Crossfire once the new cards are out.

But for now I thought that a single 4890 would do.

Avoided raid due to poor past experiences with it.

I would have went Corsair HX850 read reviews, one Sata HD for back up etc and one SSD for OS and APP'S.

Going the SATA route would have pushed the price up considerably.

For me they are still not worth the money yet.


@beefybarn - Yeah that's why I chose it although it costs a little more it's worth it to me for the reduction in noise.
