EDIT: i changed the graphics card about 4 times

first asus 6800GT

then x850XT PE because of hl2

then a 7800GT

now a 7800GTX
 
Looking good total of the 1st lot was 780quid inc VAT

i already have an external SB extigy soundcard...will this cause problems being a usb connection?

the 7800gtx is way to much at 350ukp thats half of my budget!

and im not sure about overclocking coz im looking to make it as quiet as possible!
 
Sorry all i can afford atm is 750ukp which is $1380 including deliverly charges!
 
Excellent work PZEROFGH i have added it all to my basket!

now just one more thing... this Duel layer DVD writer..will it be good enuff for my CD roms and can it write cdr's?
