hmmmm seems very good :) but never overclocked but mainly play games on it my comps well bf2 :) hmmm i got my case blue at mo i think am gonna get a new case too and do the inside green and uv what u think ?
 
no my case is black it just has 2 blue bubble cathods going down the front of the case (external) and 3 blue led fans (internal) but i think a different black case would look good with a green interior Ie lights also with a uv cathode and was thinking alont the lines of this psu

ahhhhh ok so to do this new system all i really need to do is get rid of my old system but who the hell is gonna wonna buy this off me :(
 
been looking seems like ad be getting around £200 maybe but thats with a a standard case so maybe i could get £300 maybe i should just upgrade the bits that are i there and do a full overhaul later
 
would like it fairly soon rly coz i need to get up to the £700 mark for the new comp so i dunno maybe i should just go new case psu ram hard drive and g card ?????? what u think?????
