I had a build that OverclockersUK were ever so kind at helping spec me, but after some consideration I've decided that maybe this following build would be more preferable.

I can get this build for roughly £660 excluding the case, but am willing to go up to around £800.

What are your suggestions?

This RAM will fit under a big heatsink and same speed - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

And £187 for a 1GB 6950 is too much - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-147-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752



Do you already have this?

Hey, Stulid!

You mentioned the RAM before, I think. Is it solely for the size of the pieces and their heatsinks, or is the performance different too?

I like that GPU, actually! Thanks a lot!

No, I do not have that PSU yet. It was cheap and cheerful, though I'm willing to take suggestions!

Cheers.
 
As Stulid says change the GPU and Ram and get a decent cooler for the Cpu and your looking good.

Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler £25.99
or
Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler £37.99 (although Stulid thinks the colour of this is gopping). :p

Alright, cool!

Would 650w be sufficient for that build? I presume so, since you suggested it, but I've read some posts and gotten super wary.

It is for that setup, as mentioned its also enough for a second 6950 in the future for Crossfire.
 
It all comes together when its all in stock.

If an item is out of stock/pre-order then the delivery is delayed until it comes into stock.
 
if you're looking at spending just shy of £190 on the 1gb 6950 may as well add the extra tenner or so and get a 2gb version, make more sence even tho you may like the one you've chosen.

Yeah, it does make sense.

Glad I checked here before I made any purchases. It'll blend into all the black components like cat's eyes, but y'know, it could be worse than red/black. ;)
