Oops yeah I'll probably throw in a better cpu cooler + I've always preferred 2 hard drives, one for windows programs and like, the other all my music, page file random files.

Yeah I know I could partition 1 drive but I just prefer it this way. Having said that looking at prices it definately is something to consider could get a lot more gb for the same price, although I couldn't see me ever filling 200gb let alone 300 heh.

my motherboard choice and graphics card are both in this weeks offers + will change hd to the western digital one on sale as well.

Just cut £50, will stick in a good cooler Although I do have a Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B already would that work?
