Hello!

I've been floating around here for some time (as a guest a latterly a member) researching components for a new build.

This'll be my first for several years (last one was an athlon 3000+) so I've had a bit of catching up to do to find out where the technology is at :)

I already have keyboard, mouse and monitor (1680x1050) etc so just need the core unit. Unfortunately (and in the words of Mick Hucknall) money's too tight to mention, so I am limited to no more than £650 all in for this.

I plan to use it primarily for gaming, mild overclocking, 'general' use and some light computation/bioinformatics.

So anyway, here's what I've come up with. I've tried to focus on bang-for-buck whilst making it as easy as possible to upgrade in the future (by adding a second 5770, SSD/another HDD for Raid 0, Thuban etc as required). I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions, let me know what you think.

Alas the F3 is out of stock, so I've substituted in the caviar black. I've gone for the 640gb 64mb sataIII one. Twas only £12 more (total now £633 plus p+p so still under budget) and I can make use of the 890gx mobo's 6gb/s sata doodad.
