Looking to replace my Motherboard, Ram and CPU:

Currently I have the following:

Asus P5ADE-2 Premium motherboard
P4 3.4ghz LGA 775 Prescott
2x 512mb Corsair XMS2 5400UL DDR2

Stuff that needs to go into the new one is:

Antec NeoHE 550W Modular ATX2.0 PSU
ATI Radeon X850XT-PE PCI-Express
Nebula Digi-TV PCI version
VidoeOh PCI capture card
Soundgraph Imon VFD
1x DVD Rom - IDE
1x DVD RW - IDE
2x 400gb IDE HDDs

Was thinking of this one?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-053-OK&groupid=701&catid=339&subcat=

Will that do the trick? or are there any other suggestions for £400

Please help me out here :)
 
i think thats pretty much it. Now hold out til oct/nov and get a GF9 on release :p

EDIT: I kinda regret buying the e6600,as mine doesnt even do 800fsb. You could always get a cheaper c2duo, then overclock and then 4gb of ram :)

The motherboard in that bundle only has 1 IDE slot and is using the old 975X chipset and is still expensive.

Wait for some alternatives from people as I don't know any mobos with more than one IDE slot :eek: :cool:

Some NVIDIA 650 chipset based ones like the Asus P5N-E SLI have :)
