Hi guys this is a sort of 2nd gaming system im looking to put together could i get some other views please ?

im after a smaller case ect,

i know about the ram limits on vista 32 but i need it for some apps for my job, also im guessing i should be able to push the e4500 to around 3.ghz to benifit from the gtx ?

also from some reviews the tagan psu should be able to handle a 8800gtx

any other opinions are welcome

Thanks

James

Looks great to me. I might change the GPU to something else though, perhaps a GTS to save some money as 512MB would be no problem with 19" and is similar in performance. Especially at 2D. XFX have had bad reputation with their RMA service in recent times, so it might be advicable to go with another brand. Just an idea!

Check the cooler will fit in that case.

Edit: And the graphics card too for that matter.

Does that Asus monitor have DVI? If not, swap it for a Samsung or Dell model that does.

With XFX, Ocuk are supposed to deal with the RMA procedure and they guarrantee good service otherwise they shouldn't have started stocking them again.
