Spec me new PC, basically

[Jono]

Here's what I would like.
I7 920
12GB RAM
Some Decentish GFX card.
I have 3 or 4 SATA HDDs already, don't need new ones
Don't need optical drives, but have 2x SATA DVDRW


Case that can comfortably fit the above in.

Coolingwise needs to be quiet. I realise that potentially having 4 hard drives in will generate a fair amount of heat that needs to be got rid of.

I'm not interested in overclocking (thus more noise), so don't need a £250 mobo afaik.

I just want it to run as fast as possible at stock, and not want to spend too much.

£6-800 should cover it I hope.

Maybe chuck in an SS HDD for OS/Apps.

Asus P6T mobo, it's fairly cheap can support up to 2000Mhz OCed RAM and can support 3x Crossfire or SLI if you fancy going extreme in a few years time.

Graphics I'd go for a 5850 when their back in stock you should be looking for one around £180 - £220 at the most dont pay any more than that.

Case wise I'm not too sure about a decent cooling one that is quiet...but for the sake of mentioning a case I'd say the NZXT M59 looks quite promising but you will have to buy your own fans.

Finally as far as ram goes I'd say 6GB of some OCZ platinum edition RAM should be cheap enough it's OCed to 1866Mhz and cost like £50 for 3GB. But if you insist on 12GB just have a shop around.
