Now now, I know the PSU / Case seem a tad overkill, they're simply there for future-proofing, in case I choose to say, SLI 580s.
The CPU cooler would also probably be replaced eventually once I put a heavier clock on the system.

Very excited! Will be my first upgrade frommm ..
A intel pentium D dual core, an nvidia gefore 6600, 1gb of DDR2 RAM.. (Where my HDD has failed twice now, and the CPU has overheated many times the past week, it's on it's last legs! - not even a speck of dust inside, it's just had it)
I imagine the difference will be.. Noticeable haha


Will definitely include pics once it arrives!

Still in building today, shame!
Was hoping I'd be in atleast testing or quality control, ah well.

I'm assuming it'll be either a monday / tuesday that I'll get it, or is that hopeful?
(Not sure if PCS still build/work on saturdays, any idea anyone?)

It's here!
Well, it got here at 10:30 this morning,

Will post a review up in a week or so with pics,
Seems the wireless card is a little dodgy, took a little fiddling to get it working.

May order some home plugs.
