Ok guys this is what I've specced up so far, I'm going for a whole new pc (due to mine being in spain and too old to be worth shipping back over)

It's pretty much just for games (TF2 BF3 etc) a TV card with a control would be good as it will be in my bedroom and I don't have a tv in there.

I'm aiming more towards Nvidia gfx cards due to wanting 120hz in 2D mode (don't care about 3D really not fussed about it) and I've heard the ATI cards cant run (or couldn't) run at 120hz.

No HD in there as I'm going to salvage one from an old PC just for movies etc the SSD will be where I install windows and the few games I play I've heard the crucial M4 is the best choice but I'll review that when I order the pc and see what is on special, same with the keyboard.

I will be overclocking at some point but to start with I'll stay at stock and then a month or so after I'll order a higher spec HSF than what comes with the CPU.

Also I do want the pc to be as quiet as possible (gaming in my room whilst the gf is asleep :P )

I haven't added a PSU as I have a 900W Coolermaster Modular one in spain which I might go and pick up when I'm there next month, it's around 2 years old tho so if you think I should spec one in go for it.

My other question was, I travel around a lot (moving to australia in the future) so I was wondering would it be possible to fit this spec into a shuttle and if not some advice on a gaming shuttle setup would be great to see what my options are.

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

What about the shuttle spec does anyone have any ideas? Would the parts that I've specced up fit in a shuttle pc?
 
erm... the case should be ok for some cards but finding a PSU powerful enough and small enough for that case... 300W is no where near enough for a system with a gpu in it
 
Yep, oh well I'm sure when I go overseas I can break it all down and take it with me. So sick of being on a netbook for someone that was (is) a gamer at heart a year on a netbook is driving me insane :P
 
Hey guys I researched what my old PSU is in my PC in spain which I will be taking bits out of and it's a Coolermaster Real Power Pro 1000W can I recycle it and use it in the new spec or would it not be a good idea?
 
Reuse it. Might as well, save yourself some money, plus being 1000W it will be good for Sli if you choose to do that in the future.

1000W may be a bit of an overkill at the moment, but as stated above, its good for upgrading in the future.
