Im getting the itch where I would like to treat myself to a new PC and its getting hard to resist!

Say a budget of £6-800

I already have a Mouse/KB/Monitor/Soundcard and a GTX 460 so thats a few things out the way.

Will need a new OS hard drive and already have 2x1tb ones.

What will that budget get me? I have that range to see if it going to slightly higher end will get me much more.

if you dont like the case in either build, just change it.

and both above builds are SLI ready, and the psu has plenty of watts and pci-e connectors for two cards.

Like the look of the top one! Good work.

Don't need a copy of windows as I have win 7 already.

When I get more time I will investigate both builds a bit more closely.
