Afternoon,

Would please like some opinions and advice on this spec? My budget is around £1,000. Doing some research i see that there isnt much point overclocking. I want a PC that i can keep uprading every few years or so. Would be used for gaming and multimedia. Also is there possibly any new gear worth waiting for in march?

Looks good. I would drop the additional chassis fans and get a caviar black as the secondary drive

What Keynes said + might be worth getting the intel 520 series 240GB SSD, its an ace drive and a really good price at the moment. It is overall faster then the Kingston hyper x in real world conditions and intel is know for reliability.

I don't see much point in waiting, some new tech is ALWAYS just round the corner so if you wait for that it tempts you to wait for the next thing and so on...
