Hello, looking to get a PC for gaming and music production, this more or less hits my budget, hows it look? suggestions welcome..
I don't really need any special requirements for the music other than the soundcard.

Also, I was looking at the Coolermaster website and noticed the 310 case is available in black/grey, whilst not a show stopper I much prefer the grey trim, could this be an option?

Cheers.

Nice to see someone taking full advantage of the cheap 64MB cache HDDs :D and the i7 950 special deal going on atm. Only thing i'd say is, do you intend on adding a second GTX 460 in that rig at some point? If so, the 600W may no longer be pumping out 600W by the time you're ready and may be getting toward borderline for an SLI.

A great specification you've put together there Steve, which will ge ideal for gaming and music production. We can most likely source this black version of the Elite 310 case for you, please save a quote and contact our call centre to arrange this before ordering.

Cheers for the replies, until just reading a few SLI performance comparisons I knew nothing about it, impressive, something to consider another time, however 650w sufficient?

ye 650w is enough, good PSUs the Corsair ones as well. Then youre all set for buying a second gtx 460 in the future when they go way down in price.
