Ok cheers Hikaricloud, your advice has been really helpful, helped me make alot of improvements.
Like i said, i'm off to france tomorrow, going to the middle of nowhere for 3 weeks, so hopefully when i return phenoms and radeons will all have magically dropped in price.
When i get back i'll check over the specs one-more time, post it here and if it all looks good I'll be building away pretty soon. Should be fun!
Gonna have to investigate overclocking with this one later on too i think.
Thanks again
Lorcan
Updated- Hikaricloud, couple questions, first, what are your thoughts on sapphire GPU's? also i see that XFX has a 1gb 4890 card for £40 more, do you think this would be a good move? especially if i start playing games on this machine, the extra 512mb mem and upgraded model will make a difference. And also, down the line if I add a second card in crossfire, will the PSU be enoughfor all the various stuff.
