Re: Time to build... a few first-timer questions :-)

OK, you've convinced me... I'll go for the Solo with an Enermax 525W MODU82+ PSU. Should I buy any extra fans to go with this case? I'll probably be overclocking the Q6600 to 3.0Ghz eventually, so I guess cooling will be important?

With the motherboard, I think I'll save £30 and go with the ominously named 'Dark Raider' version of the IP-35... What exactly am I giving up by doing this?

Also, do you reckon the cheapo graphics card will manage to run C&C 3 while I wait for my new whiz-bang card to appear? Though, as long as I can edit photos and surf the web, this is most important I guess :-)
