In line with my rebuild, i've just ordered the following:

The new PSU is for my second HD5850 to be ordered shortly:

Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail£188.081

Asus P6T SE Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £128.491

Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850HXUK) £118.291

Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (PVT36G1600ELK) £97.861

Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Rev. C CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3) £34.031

Samsung EcoGreen F3 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD503HI) £33.181

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)£5.951£5.95

Along with Windows 7 should be a major improvement on an Asus P5N32 e-sli and a dual core e6850 processor, along with 4gb Corsair XMS2 on Win XP : )

ahh mate, gaming PC's are now enough to warrant a second Mortgage ( i don't even have a first yet but will feel like it !).

My first spec was £1600 with a second 5850, but the difference i'm saving means Spain in spetember instead of Skegness

Hilts · 22 Feb 2010 at 15:48

Thanks Tiamat

This is the case it will be going into:
