Thanks for the speedy reply. I do not require a OS. My usage will be heavy and for high end gaming running the latest games. Rather than the SSD what would you upgrade for another £125? Thanks,

Eddie

Mobo - ASUS P8P67 Pro
Video card - 6950 - such that you can flash it to 6970 yourself.

For extra £75 (instead of SSD), I'd stick with standard P8P67 and get GTX570 OC - it's same speed as HD6970, HD6950 unlocked is not quite as fast as proper HD6970.

I'd pick the SSD over the faster GPU, but since you're underbudget, why not have both? :D

EDIT: Or perhaps have 8GB of RAM.

Are you going to SLi/ Crossfire in future?
If yes, you won't want your second video run at x4. That's why go for 'Pro'. if not, you can get slight cheaper PSU at 550 - 650w

I suggest you wait until end of the month for their fixing up.

you could get core i7 950 with X58, but sandybridge still better choice
