thanks

1) i looked into core 2's but found that i couldnt get a mobo with sli (want this so i can upgrade later) for less than £100 quid really.

2) i planned the psu so that it had enough power for sli if i want to get a second gfx card although i wont get the second card now ill wwait until i need to upgrade or move to dx 10. anyone any thoughts on the Hipers then?

3) yup seagates look good, may get a
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 200GB ST3200820AS SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-085-SE)
instead. does the difference in cache 16mb compared with 8mbs make any noticeable difference?

thanks for the help
