then add on a freezer 7 pro. seen people getting extreme OCs with this kit. and i know the X1800 will soon be 2 generations behind but for the money its superb.

I'd say the bottom spec, but change the hard drive to a 7200.10 model, they're much better apparently.

Bottom spec is a nicer board, better memory, better graphics, case and PSU.

The CPU won't make any difference because that spec has a nice custom cooler which should see you hit over 3.0gthz if you should so want to.

I'd go with the bottom spec because i suggested it
