Hi All,

I am currently just about to order my new rigg. The spec is below can anyone see any issues with it before I order please let me know. I will be using it for gaming and a computing course with some digital editing elements required.

Coolermaster HAF 922 Case

ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard

Corsair Vengence 8gb (1600) RAM 2 x 4GB 1.5v Non-ECC unbuffered.

WD 1TB Satat III 6 G/bs Caviar Black 7200rpm 64mb Cache

Sony Opiatric DvD 24x DvD/RW

Corsair TX750W PSU - 80 Plus Certified.

Be Quiet Dark Rock Advanced C1 Socket Cooler (FAN)

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 "Dual Fan Edition" 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE DIRT3 Game.

Let me know what you guys think.

Don't get WD. Their improved performance with Ggb/s is a marketing gimmick. Here's a better choice for your money. It has already established itself as the best performance around its price for most of us.

Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $60

I think 650W will also work fine for you since you're not planning to crossfire that 6950. Other than that everything works fine. Instead of the Be Quiet Dark Rock, I would go for the Hyper 212+ for $30 or Mugen 2 if you can spend $40

In the UK so depends on stock. I would look to add another 6950 card as time goes on but would just run everything at stock to begin with as a bit of a noob to this then just build from there. I will go for the spinpoint. The 32mb Cache is on offer too do you think there would be much difference in performance between 32mb and 64mb on the samsungs drive?
