    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.

    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.

    Edit: Don't forget you'll be needing a 64-bit OS.

    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.

    What should I go for?

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

    Im not too big of a fan of Vista myself, but i feel i'll be needing to install it fairly soon.

    Vista Home Premium x64 has no problems for me.

    XP x64 was so crap it should never have been released.
