The noise factor was an element in both the mobo and the heatsink. I may well add another GB ram and as it's the easiest bit to add i though i'd see how things go with the specs here.

Thanks for the advise guys, ACES i'd already ordered when you suggested the X1800 XT but i'm sure the 7800 won't dissapoint.

I placed the order at about 15:30 yeasterday and it's here on the IOW by 11:00, great service there guys, thanks.

One thing though, the SI-120 is HUGE!! I shouldn't be surprised as it needs a 12cm fan but it was still a shock actually looking at it out of the box.
