This way the total is £418.00 with 2xsata drives

Now I have 100 to play with rounded up where do I use it please (carriage extras I can live with)


Is there a spacific reason you went gigabyte rather than the Asus A8N-VM CSM or was it just price only the Asus has dual vga, again advice would be cool

I'd either spend the money on getting 2gb of ram or get a nicer case, or spend it on a quieter cpu cooler
 
The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro and Scythe Ninja Plus Heatpipe CPU Cooler both get a lot of support here the freezer is best bang for buck and the ninja with a 120 fan is probably the best air cooler right now but costs a little more
 
Thats cool thank you.

Am left with around a £100 so what do I upgrade on this to gain the most ??


Asus board good/bad ??
