So you've settle for the 5970 then... could cause upset in the nVidia ranks within us :D The rest of your specification looks sweet, bet you can't wait to click the order button!

How much did the headset set you back? I'm in the market for one so let me know your views on it after you've played with it for a while.

For the moment yeah. Depending how much I get paid I might add a 5870 too :p 480 SLI would've won if they didn't have such heat issues (I say this though... I'll probably change something by the time of ordering!)

It was about £50. Haven't used it for communication yet but the sound is fantastic and very comfortable.

Need to wait an extra couple of weeks for the keyboard but it should hopefully come right before FFXIV.

Nice choice on the 5970, why settle for anything other than the best hey?:p
