no problem, let me know if you need any guidance putting it all together Bobek will have a very nice PC at the end of it

As for Windows 7, amazon.co.uk seems to be pretty cheap

Ultimate - £154.99

Home Premium - £88.99

To be honest Home Premium will probably be fine but if you want to get Ultimate by all means do One thing to make sure of when installing windows is that you choose 64bit and NOT, I repeat NOT 32bit. 32bit only supports 3GB RAM so you will be wasting 5GB of RAM in the new system

Thanks again R3lic!!! You are the

just realised that aria are offering win7 slightly cheaper

Thanks again R3lic!!

Glad I could help

Just a quick note, not sure if you've ordered everything yet but ebuyer are selling the 5850 for £199, they just put it on sale today, I've just ordered one for myself because I told myself I would get one when it came down below £200 :p

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175714

that'll save you a further £30 or so and also comes with Dirt 2 :p

I have couple problems with orderin
looks like aria is shipping to Ireland but they asking for post code. There is no post codes in Ireland I've send then an email asking how to go around it
Ebuer shipping only to UK

Hmm thats a shame. You can get almost all the parts from aria and they are usually around the same price, I'll find links to all the bits on aria for you. Aria deliver to Ireland but add an extra charge by the look of it.

The HDD score is inaccurate because you are running RAID 0 so it should be higher than that but Windows only calculates the Read/Write speed of the base HDD. Hope you have fun playing on it, is everything going smoothly?
