Hi,

I am in need of building a SFF beast to replace my current rig. I need it for ease of moving back and forth from base. My current set up is:

Opteron 146, Tagan 480w PSU, DFI Expert, 2gb G.Skill 3200 DDR, Radeon X1950pro, WD Raptor 36gb, WD 250gb, DVD Drive, DVD R/W drive, Flash card drive,Santa Crz sound card.

I'll sell the components such as the cpu and board to help fund the new build, I will probably sell the X1950pro also and upgrade to a 8800 or r600. The HDD's will be going into the shuttle along with the drives. So all I need is the case, board,, cpu, gfx and possibly RAM. The peripherals need not be included in the budget.

I'll have about £600 to spend. It need's to play games & media, some photoshopping and autoCAD use too. Tell me what I should keep and what I should look at replacing please.

Thanks in advance :)

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - £129.99
(£152.74)
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA663) £99.99 (£117.49)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - £189.99 (£223.24)
Shuttle XPC SD37P2 Aluminium Barebones System - Intel Core 2 Duo (LGA775) £255.99 (£300.79)

£804.77 (inc VAT)

I would sell my old components to make up some of this cost of course. OCuk don't do the SD39P2, will have to look elsewhere. Is that RAM ok? Is 667mhz the fastest memory supported as the spec says?
