Yep looks like i have all the info now to help me choose and build a hopefully great PC thanks to you guys on this forum. Many Thanks to you all, specially Punkinator for taking your time to go through this with me, would have been totally lost without this info. Cheers mate!!!

I found this cooler from the test page you linked, its cheaper, has some good results and looks quite nice or is that me showing my bad taste again hehe Might help if i actually add the link -...

Yep sorry i must have copied that wrong motherboard, these are the ones i was looking at for both setups the one you linked for 1156 and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-399-AS - for 1366 I dont see anywhere on those 8x8? or is it just where it states (Supports ATI...

I did just find the same Lian Li one with a window but its even more expensive - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-184-LL Also found this one which isnt bad - http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductID=1085786&source=froogle And this -...

Yep your right you did mention near the start of the thread about the upgrade possiblities, i was just browsing around and reading. I guess your right about the side window then the fan ive chosen should look nice aswell. Do you have a suggestion for a cheaper cooler that would look as nice...

Hi punkinator, im probably going for your idea of the i5 setup i was just doing some number crunching of the 2 setups, only thing i was reading was that the new chips that are out 6 core? are useing the same socket as the i7 setup which would mean that the 1156 sockets are end of line?? im...

Intersting hard drive test read ive been looking at various stuff similiar to that on other parts of the PC, i was told about the Velocityraptor by a friend who use it and also swears by it so i guess il give it a go. Im not planning on any overclocking atm, as im just getting into this but it...

Ive just noticed the cooler i have picked was for the i7 930 1366 setup http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-036-ZA and noticed the sockets doesnt mention i5 750 1156, will this still go with my new setup i5 750 still or would i need to change to something which states the...

Hi guys thanks once again for all your inputs it has greatly helped me in choosing the correct items. Thank you Also punkinator for taking the time to answer those questions, i take it the sata 6gbs will automatically just start useing sata 3gbs when i insert another card? i mean i wont have to...

Final list that i have come up with with just 2 questions, as you mentioned if i have this correct that i dont need sata 6gbs as it will be useless when useing 2 cards? if that is so and i go with useing useing 1 x 5850 would it be better to go for a sata 6gbs motherboard ? Would that...

Saving so far i saved £65 by getting the i5 instead of i7. £35 on the ram getting 4gb instead of 6gb. Getting one 5770 for now would save me another £100 but would be the same if i got 2 of them same price as the 5850. Which 5850 is better as there is one slighlty more expensive and dont...

Hi again ok this is what i have come with hope this ram fits the motherboard? again im in new territory with this so any comments are really appriciated. i5 1x 5850 the motherboard you suggested - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-361-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1495...

Ah wonderful thank you.

ye i got confused just saw you said 5770 just replace my post with the 5770 and 5850. I meant to say 2 x 5770 were the same price as 1 x 5850. Sorry for that. The 5870 is quite a jump up in expense and as youve mentioned i dont think i really need that card. I understand so i think what i am...

Here is the motherboard that Overclockers recommended to me via email to go with the i7 that i inquired about at before my rethinking on useing an i5. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-235-GI
