ive got about £1200 to spend. I need a system for pure gaming. Would be interesting in overclocking but nothing extreem. Dont need any harddrives as i have 2*200gig SATA drives already.

Can someone spec me a PC for around that price.
 
Gaming only. I will overclock (air) a little. Yeah was gunna wait for conroe but im not sure which model to pre order/mobo to go for (theres a few conroe mobo's already showing). Memory has got me a little stumped. Never really figured out what the advantages/dis of memory. power supply? etc
 
Sounds just about what i was thinking off. couple of things though.

Power supply. Is this overkill for a single GPU system? Seems a lot to be spending on a power supply? Also If i was to go for a crossfire solution do you need a more powerful power supply. (i know the GF range us less power but ill probably stick to the ATI for the AA + HDR)

The memory. Is there any real point getting such expensive memory if im only going to overclock a bit. When i overclock my PC i tend to overclock it for perm usaged. So a very safe and stable overclock, rather than pushing the overclock as far as it will go to see what i can get out of it. Dont think many overclockers use there systems at max overclock all the time do they?

My last motherboard was a asus p4c 800 e Deluxe and to be honest ive had several problems with the bios going missing and me having to reflash it. Last time it took 30+ flashes to finally fix itself. Oh and if i remove the overclock back down to 2.8ghz, currently overclocked to 3.2ghz, the system tells me that the overclock has failed?? This might of been a one off, who are leading the market for mobos these days?
