Since my old set-up is starting to show its age I've decided to upgrade, and here is what I'm looking at so far:
Intel Core Duo E6750
Asus P5K Premium Wi-Fi
G.Skill 4Gb PQ DDRII PC8000
Scythe Mine Rev B
Samsung Spinpoint 500GB
550W Xclio Greatpower Modular
GeForce 8800GTX
Antec P182
A few things first. I already have the CPU (I actually got it a couple of months back, but lack of free money has meant it has gone unused), so that can't really be changed, and I have a decent DVD burner so there's no need to replace that. Also I've read that the P182 can sometimes have problems with modular PSU's due to the location of the bottom fan, so does anyone know if the Xclio will be a problem? It's no big deal if so, I'll just get a non-modular one, it'd just be nice to know before I order it so I don't have to wait while I return it for something more suitable. Finally would it be worth the extra £30-£40 to get PC8500 RAM over what I currently have listed? the G.Skill is going for a great price where I've seen it, but I'd be willing to wait a week or two for another pay check if there is a notable increase in performance.

to me. Perhaps get another GFX card in there in a few weeks with the new releases?
