Ive roughly got a grand to spend on a new system :

Still to add a graphics card, i was thinking about getting the 320mb G80 when its out. Would that be enough power for a 20 inch widescreen at its native res ??

;)
 
:) A 128mb 6200 is enough to power that monitor at native res! :rolleyes:

I will be looking to score one in the next few days hopefully. Everything is a great choice BTW, I was going to get a 6300+DS3 but opted for P5nE and a 4300. I dont think there is much between to be honest.. With a 8800 and some gentle overclocking you will have one mother of a machine

:D
 
Looks good. I'd go for a Lian Li or Akasa eclipse for the case, those thermaltakes are bit plasticy for me (IMHO)

Replace that PSU with a corsair. Don't know about that CPU cooler, I'd stick with a tuniq tower or a scythe ninja (but I don't know if that one is bad). Samsung sata DVD writer is quite good, and worth considering for the more speed/less cable aspect.

One hell of a system you have there...
 
I will be wanting to play crysis at 1680 by 1050 when it comes out. I just wanted to make sure this spec would be capable of that. I will be taking the cpu as far as it will go on air.

EDIT :

Yea i wasnt sure what psu or cpu cooler to get. I seen a few reviews for the psu and cpu cooler ive chosen and they both seem to get a good review.

Those new 8800 are going to be a steal imo, but is it worth paying extra for the 640 thats what i am askign myself!
