Finally made my mind up.
Ordered Q9550 OEM for just over £200
MSI P45 Neo 3 FR (bit of a gamble but I've always got along well with MSI and it was £25 cheaper than the Asus)
4Gb OCZ Reaper (8500)
I went with the Arctic cooler in the end because I know it will fit with the odd reaper heatsinks and it was £17ish.
All in all £380, not bad considering I never keep to my budget. I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope my Tagan 480 holds out. I'm running 3 hard drives a PCI soundcard, 1 optical drive and a 9600GT.
Fingers crossed but I can't see it being a problem.
