As above, the AAKS ones are the newest I believe, so the 250 GB ones are labelled WD2500AAKS
Scan are out of stock at the moment (awaiting ETA), Ebuyer have them for the same price (Can't post URLs just yet.)

no the ninja rev B comes with a scythe s-flex fan which works a treat
cant i just use the heatsink the cpu comes with?
sure.. You won't really wan't to overclock with it though and its quite a noisey thing if everything else is near silent
if you want to save a bit of money get this ram

corsair is fine if its stock, geil is good for 1066mhz 5-5-5-12 in my machine
Thanks mike. I'm not planning to overclock, too scared ill blow something up!
I'd still use the ninja tbh. It will make all the difference to the noise.
With the ninja so far you are on for a near silent system (you will just about hear the 8800)
With the stock cooler it's going to be pretty noisey I think.
DVD, unless you want Lightscribe, get the Samsung SH-203. It's SATA and very fast. Also top drive for writing according to CDFreaks.
Your GFX card appears to use the standard cooler. Can't therefore understand why you'd pay extra for a tiddly OC that every card should reach. Why not get the Scan and save £50, or pay £40 more and get the Gainward Ultra? Alternatively get on Today Only and get the OC2 version, with a worthwhile OC, for £4, if you're nervous (or the Scan which is going for ~£290).
Do you mean this card?

Considering only 12 month warranty I would think twice over it. Gainward usually 36 month, evga and BFG lifetime. So all of them are quite sure about their products - only thing is BFG and EVGA after first year you need to send your card abroad.
Anyway seeing lots of problems with GPU sold as overclocked I would go for standard clocks.
Most of the time all GPU are all right but this would be most expensive bit in your system - need most of your attention
True, the EVGA/BFG Warranties are fairly tasty on a high end card. Get the OC2 on Today Only then.
OC stands for overclocked
here is the OC2 GTX from BFG scan link
And Today Only is Scan's bargains - genuine, because they're existing stock. This card is a real bargain on Today Only over its normal price, and with the warranty you can't lose really. But you have to buy before noon tomorrow.
Asus P5K-E is out of stock at scan... darn
Is there much of a performance difference between
