I decided on the Seasonic M12 700W PSU have ordered this along with Asus Rampage formula X48 mobo, Intel E8400 3.0GHz CPU, 2 x 2GB Geil RAM, 250GB samsung spinpoint HDD, LiteON 20x SATA DVD rewriter, Artic sliver 5 thermal compound & Artic silver Arti clean and Antec 1200 gaming case all from Novatech.

I usually buy my stuff from overclockers but Novatech was cheaper.

I bought a Tuniq Tower 120 from Yo Yo Tech as no other suppliers seem to be stocking this very popular HSF (if you are planning on getting it Yo Yo tech have 5 left).

I am expecting delivery & to build it on Saturday

Sounds good - I'm officially jealous. Nice choice of HSF too

What graphics card did you go for in the end?

Qs

 

Forgot to add that I went for the BFG GTX 260 maxcore edition it seems to run a bit better than a standard gtx280 and is about £90 cheaper.

 

Nice piece of kit. When I stop paying for the new car I'll be sure to invest in a better PC.

For the time being it's laptop time.

What are you planning to play on the 'behemoth' then?

Qs

 

Far Cry 2, Crysis 2 etc

 

*sobs with envy*

 

lol I havent built a comp for quite sometime so hopefully it'll go ok. I'll have the latest BIOS ready just incase.

 

GBL: You might want to ditch the Samsung drive in favour of something that won't self-destruct and toast your data within the next year.

 

I haven't heard of any issue with the spin points, have heared different?

 

Nope, I have a couple and they're awesome. Fast, reliable, good value for money.

Each to their own I suppose.

Qs

 

I've heard nothing but good things about the spinpoint and I'm running a 500gb one in my home PC at the moment.

My next PC (the fictional creation I never have the money to buy) includes the 1TB SpinPoint F1 as well.

 

it took me a while to get my has been fictional pc, but now is a reality. It took me three months to read reviews and compare prices and 3 months to get the money and about 3 seconds to order it

 

ah yes, but part of the problem is its not actually that long since I built the one I have at the moment..... kind of...

I've run out of upgrade options now except for more RAM (already got 2gb, seriously considering going to 4gb).

Then its dream pc time. If I won the lottery I already know what I'd buy http://www.armari.co.uk/xcp-gallery.asp

 

looks good, you better start saving or marry the 18 year old girl near me who has won 7 million on the lottery

 

Haha, names? Addresses? I'm there!

Qs

 

watch the news, she'll be on it. She single too by the looks of as she is with her mum when they give her the cheque

 

Score! I'm sure the missus won't mind!

 

you might get lucky she could be a swinger

 

Mmmm thread digression.

 

lol
