Dammit these are all good points and ive put my credit card away! I have 2 x SATA and 2 X SSD drives. Im upgrading from a 4870 with an E6850 so its pretty ancient tech. I really am go**amn hopeless at overclocking, and would pay the 40 quid for someone else to do it, but now Im eyeing stulids post with interest. that looks fairly idiot proof! Case is an Antec 300.

cheers for replies all.

As long as you know thats theres no Lucid+Quicksync support with that board or a onboard GFX solution to fall back on if you have a GFX card problem.

LOL I clearly need to spend some more time researching. If i'm back to the 7850/7870 route i'm going to give all the details a good going over over the weekend. Thanks for all the advice
