Hi all, looking to upgrade my pc to coincide with the release of Win 7.

Currently i have this running Windows 7 RC...

Antec 900
Asus P5B-Deluxe
Intel E6600
4GB Geil ULL
Asus GTX 285
Creative X-FI Xtreme Music
Corsair HX 620w PSU
Asus DVD-RW Drive
1TB HDD's (3 drives)
AE Ageo M speakers
Samsung SM2443BW 24" monitor
Logitech G15, G5 & G25


Am looking at getting the following...

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz Max / Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard / Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz DDR3 Bundle

I'm wondering about upgrading the PSU while i'm at it to the Corsair HX850w as i'm wondering if the 620 will be enough? Also thinking i may as well do it all while i'm at it.


Also thinking about the case, Toying with the idea of the Lian-Li PC-7F

Help me choose! :)

Thanks

What will temps be like in the 900 compared to the Lian-Li? Especially gaming at 4ghz?

I'm assuming the 900 will be better/cooler?

Fair enough,

So the i7 is worth it from the 3.8 to 4ghz for £15?

What sort of temps do you think i can expect from the i7 at 3.8 and 4ghz?

Ye i know what you mean, this 900 is starting to look old if you know what i mean. :(

I would, but to be honest i just dont have the time or patience to do it, that is why I'm happy to pay someone else to do it. :)


What about SSD's been tempted to get one, any recommendations anyone?
