Hi guys,
could you just have a quick look over the following components before i hit the buy button !? My budget is £700 and i want a decent base system that i can upgrade to a dx10 card when the prices fall.

I chose the p5b deluxe as im not sure i can wait for Nvidia 650i Ultra. Would people recomend waiting ?? as i wont be ordering these for 2 weeks. Any dates for 650i ultra yet ???

The pc will be an upgrade from my sig so i think i should see a good performance boost ! I will be running the pc at clock speeds for a month or so but will buy a better air cooler and have a go at overclocking (newbie) at some point.

Any non compatible bits there ????

cheers steve,
yeh thought that actually after i posted !

What cooler do you recomend ? the quieter the better !

any other coments/ things people would change on the spec ?
 
What sort of problems have people been seeing with the Geil ram ??

I was under the impression from the way people talk that Geil as one of the best out there !

i dont want the ram to let my shiny new system down !

but apart from that the spec looks good yes ?? (even if i wait for a 650i SLI/Ultra board)
