good rig, what are the type of activities you will be utilizing this for? I think a 750W corsair would suit your system much better (cheaper PSU + less expense in electricity as 750 is perfect for your processor/gpu). Admins correct me if im wrong.

The 750W version ain't available at the moment, so went with that one. Well with the express options.

And for gaming obviously. As well as Development using Visual Studio, Unity and the Unreal UDK. Uni student you see.

sometimes banks dont let a big payment go for security reasons or its out of charactor, a quick phone call to let them know and you will be on your way bud ;)

Yep. We actually got through them pretty quickly which was a surprise! Seems it was because of this large money order and the folks also booking a holiday the other day. Its all sorted now!

And thanks again for all you guys support on the forum!

You mind me asking how much this rig came to? Is pretty close to what I had in mind but with the 5870 rather than a 5850...

Sweet. Without a monitor I suspect though?

And I got the two cards round the wrong way...doh!

Yeah no monitor. If your going for the 5850 it should be around £100 cheaper, I would have a look at the GTX 460 though. I think they will have the 1GB model in soon.

Heh, check the 'What's new' thread for my thoughts on that already ;)

With some tweaking I may go for a similar spec, need a monitor, speakers, k & M included though...And the budget is 1400.

Ahh, didn't notice that! With a few tweaks you should be able to get it under your budget! Didn't know you were from Glasgow though!

Nearly done with the backing up and getting of software ready for it being delivered. Joys of being a student and getting free software from the Uni!

Is it sad I'm checking every so often to see if it will get dispatched today? :p

Finally finished moving everything off I need to keep.

Ha ha, I understand your, anxiousness lol. I wanted the fast track, but also wanted the 60gb SSD lol. I went for the SSD lol. I'll be waiting a while for mine I guess. :(

haha, except for case and motherboard, I just bought the exact same setup.

Went for the maelstrom T900 instead of the HAF and the -E rather than Premium version of the mobo, looked them up and apparently the difference was minimal.

Can't wait to get it :cool:

To be honest mate i was the same, checking in work, and at home, then checking DHL, and then phoneing my house to see if it had been (i'm very impatient if you hadn't noticed)
