So any comments will be welcome, budget around 1300 Pounds ($1800-1900)
The second bits for Ram, GPU, Mobo, are alternatives.
Just to say the Case here is just the one that i saw first in the list and picked it, so if people think there is better for the price, would welcome any suggestions, (budget for case max of 80 pounds ($115)) could strech a bit more for the case, but it must be amazing.

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Is that a mid-size case?

I've always had better flow with a mid-size case...just my observation. :)

Not a big AMD chip fan?

I know AMD X6 is out. Ever consider that? Six chips......that's crazy!

Aren't those basically the same Graphics Card?

Corsair is nice. Don't know much about the other.

That's it for now.
 
Nice case!

Shrug.......I'm bias toward AMD.........Intel will see it's fall as soon as they lower their comission rates at the stores....:D
 
Why didn't I think of that!......:rolleyes:

Shrug.......to each his own.

That is a sweet computer you are building...:)

Good Luck.
 
Looks pretty good I would take in to consideration what daisymtc suggested.

Also I have to ask what bad thing have you heard about AMD? Not that I am going to tell you to get one because the i7 930 is better then any AMD CPU has out, but I'm just curious.
 
daisymtc thanks for the suggestions, actually my friend has one, the SSD and says it is prety good, but he said that there are new ones coming out soon and i should wait for them, if they do come out in the next two months i would probably buy it, otherwise will buy this one, or the one suggested by Analizer, which actually looks prety good.

Fatback, i have not done any extensive research yet, since i have a bit of time before i buy this, but i did quick search, and many posts (not here) said that the AMD does not perform well unless you overclock it, as well as that many people recommend the Intels I7 chips rather than the AMD's one, but as i promised to Phylactery will research into it.

Analizer your PSU link does not work...

i think for the price the Gigabyte mobo is prety good, this is the link for it http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-235-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1692

the Asus one is 100 pounds more expensive..

Thanks for replys much appreciated
 
I think you might of took there comments the wrong way. Intel currently has the best CPU's available. AMD CPU's perform great and are more then enough for anybody but yes Intel's current i7 and i5 CPU's are better. The truth is that you probably won't notice that big of a difference between an AMD and Intel in the real world. You might get some extra fps in games with an i7/i5 but usually they are pretty even in that department. If you have the money then I encourage you to go the i7 route as it will be a little more future proof. Although if you won't to save some money but still get plenty of power then going with AMD is always good for that.
 
Fatback,

Yeah, as i said i was not really looking, i just did a little search read a few reviews and comments,

I am leaning more towards the I7, as suggested by my rig set up, i would probably not change that in any case.

thanks again for comments
 
Tuniq Tower 120-Extreme socket 775 754 939 AM2 AM2+ Heatpipe CPU Cooler

Not sure how important it is but this one only socket as above, my one has socket 1366, so i think it would not fit.
