I have just ordered my pc, will post piccies during build on saturday, i am basically doing the above spec *points up screen* but i have changed the case to a antec 900 (cheaper) that saved money i have spent on upgrading to a Q9450, i have also changed to G.Skill Ram, just wanted to thank all of you for your fantastic and incredibly useful advice. I will be recommending the OCuk forums to all my friends 


Oh and someone who spends that amount of money on their education can't be bothered to fok out some cash on something useful and decent like a pc (Shameful)
