shall i hit the buy button?

:( i am on a really tight budget, do you know of a decent one that is not too much more? i guess i could get rid of the dvd-rom bezel and maybe get a smaller hard drive and put that saved money towards a better psu. i am really trying to keep it below or as close to £600 as possible, it is currently £590

Depends on budget.

Not sure about the power supply, so i can`t say either way. The corsair`s are popular and i am well chuffed with mine. But, they are quite a bit more cost wise.

Are you going to use the stock cooler? You might want to get something a little better and quieter IMO. Especially if you plan to overclock. I have the same chip and it went straight to 3ghz no probs under a Noctua.

The Freezer pro is popular on here, and its the right money. Also the Tuniq tower, Scythe Ninja, Noctua HF12 And Thermalrights all come highly recommended.

Good choice on the hard drive. Its so quiet i though mine was broken.:p

I see. Well, thats the cooler sorted.

The importance of a decent power supply is often overlooked. I can`t say either way on the Huntkey`s as i have no experiance of using them. I have always used Antec`s or Corsairs.

yeh i hope so anyway, i havent heard much about it so i am not sure if it will do that job but its worth a go i guess. And i will have a look at the corsairs now
 
:) lol fantastic i have a choice now and i am awful at decison making, still if both are being recomended then i guess i will go for the cheapest. cheers guys
 
im trying to keep it close to £600, but i could go a little bit over. however that would mean having to wait another week or two :( and i really want to get it as soon as possible, im very very impatient
 
yeh i know the difference between crossfire and sli, and thats why i was asking if that was the only difference because i am planning on getting an nvidia card. yes i plan to try overclocking the cpu to around 3.2 and overclock the gpu a bit as well, although i havent tried overclocking before but how hard can it be :)
