I'd rather go for Intel Setup, P35 Mobo, E5200 and GTS 250 since it works as a treat for me

Looks great, I'd go with that

Sorry for off topic post but; Where would i buy one of those cases in the UK? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156078)

I agree with mattew (you shouldnt put a nvidia gpu with an amd cpu).

Looks ok. If your just getting 2gb. of memory you should get two 1gb. sticks so it will run in Dual Channel

If your not planning on running Crossfire get a GTS 250 instead of a 9800GTX+.

I hate Raidmax, Get a lowend Antec or NZXT case.

You dont have a power supply listed.

I agree with mattew (you shouldnt put a nvidia gpu with an amd cpu).

Tell me why. If he doesnt plan on running Crossfire it doesnt matter. Unless you know something I dont.

I'm using that video card and like it. Not playing CRYSIS - but it's great on Dirt 2 - and COD world at war - and Vegas 2 shooter games that I've played - and the EVGA overclocking Precision software is a breeze to use. :good:

Lol, well I think he's referring to fact that AMD bought out ATi. I think nVidia and Intel keep trying to become partners but never do.

Your right, its unless your going to crossfire which he might want to do in the future. (You can also download software from AMD's website which OC ATI at great speeds IF you have a ATI/AMD build).

I'm pretty sure you can still download the software even if you have an Intel/ATi build.
