Proposal feedback please gents

I am fairly happy with my choices for my next upgrade but there are far more capable people on this forum thatn me, so can I get a few feedbacks on my choices please.

My current case is a P182, I have an Enermax 720W and a TT 120 Ultra Extreme HSF (lapped). I have just bought a second hand 8800GTX eVGA card for £20, yes I did say £20

but will need to upgrade the card when decent ones become available. Will my current PSU be OK for say the replacement GTX280 when it arrives and the 9450 clocked to 3.4 or so?

Many Thanks

720w will be more than enough. You would be surprised just how much a psu of that size can power.

Thanks for the heads up re. the PSU. Anyone care to comment on the rest of my choices.

Thanks

Looks like a damn nice rig mate! I would look at the 4870x2 when it arrives over a GTX280 though. Especially as you have an X48 in your thoughts

Thanks goujon945

That will be a cracking rig and should clock nicely. Jammy git for getting a 8800GTX for £20 though.

I know I am well happy. I got it in a car boot sale. I was gonna say something but I figured it was time I had a bargain.

I won't buy anything at the mo, at least CPU as Intel price cut is happening tomorrow so wait for at least another one week or two!

If you're right then I tip my hat to you toucam. Sweet info, thanks
