are u actually seriously considering spending that much or is it a wish list cause it seems that u just picked the most expensive of everything ;) :p
 
How can it be the most expensive of everything, for starters, the ram isn't the most expensive, same goes for PSU.

yes i would

i'd spend £1000-1200 tops. leave the rest for a rainy day.

you say that youve been saving up, so im guessing you arent loaded. best thing to do is not waste money.

Whats wrong with these two items?

Na, I'd spend around £1500 and leave the rest. But I shouldn't be the one saying this, cause I spend a lot as well Lol :p
 
i am sure my wife is on here under a user name lol. she says the same spend half of it and save the rest for something else. if i spent 1500 what would that get me
cheers

If you really want to stick close to £1500, drop the case to a cheaper one.

Drop the ram to a cheaper one.

Drop the Mobo to a cheaper one.
 
Would go for the ordinary 8800GTX as they charge a premium for the OC2 which tbh you could easily do yourself and save the difference :)

You want spend £3,225.15 on a PC to play on a low res 19" monitor :p

Looks like you put two BFG GeForce 8800 GTXs in that list as well...(Two 8800gtxs in SLI on a 19" monitor is a total waste of money)

no i was allways going to change the monitor, just did not list one as really not sure what to go for. i am keeping my current system including the monitor for work and as a general family pc. the new one is mine for game play, i only listed the bits that i thought would build a truley awesome pc. i have saved enough to build it but common sense on my wife's part on some advice on here has made me think again. so now spending a bit less and leaving some cash in reserve for the future needs.
cheers
