Cheers N!ck, legendary as usual i'm going to do some looking around and hopefully bounce some idea's off you guys. It'll be a gaming rig yeah, I'm sticking to air, there's not a chance im risking setting up a water cooled system, I could see it going horribly wrong.
Bah Dave, I love my AMD system, and love them as a company, but with the current market intel are the CPU leaders right now.Originally Posted by DaveTaylor//

Additional info:
I've got a couple of things I might be able to salvage from my current rig:
oczgxs600 - Hopefully the 600w is still good enough for my new rig.
700Gb's worth of HDD's.
And I have XP pro and sticking with it so won't be needing to spend money on a new OS.
Sorry I didn't mention all this earlier I didn't have much time to post last time.

That PSU will probably do fine. With the money you save maybe spend a little more on the CPU. Don't forget you still need a case. Originally Posted by J1MI

Damn forgot about that, oh balls, I really don't know which OS to choose now. I have a beta vista installed on my current pc on a seperate HDD, and I never use it because it seems to hate all my components. But i've also heard bad things about the 64-bit version of XP, where microsoft we're just too lazy and missed out alot of code. Originally Posted by N!ck

I say Vista as everything new is now compatible with it, and there is only a slight performance decrease compared to XP. Originally Posted by J1MI

Vista Home Premium x64 has no problems for me.
XP x64 was so crap it should never have been released.:8 Originally Posted by Chippiewill
