    Check this setup for me before i order..

    Going to order from CCL computers unless anyone can give me a reason not to?

    E8400 E0 Stepping
    PQ5-E
    Geil 4gb 6400
    BFG Gtx 260
    620 Corsair PSU Modular
    Hiper Osiris Case

    After much searching thats my final setup, any compatibility issues that are obvious? (i know its a crossfire mobo)

    Dont want it all to turn up and have compatibillity issues.

    Buy From Scan.. because... Theyre lovely people.
    Besides, they have good prices and good support.

    Apart From That, spec looks fine but you could probably drop to the 520w modualr corsair if you want.

    No that should all go together fine, oh you qualify for free delivery from Scan now if that makes a difference?

    You'll get it all apart from the geil RAM (have to go with corsair XMS2) and maybe the case.

    Looks all okay, CCL are good guys too. You can't get the Osiris from Scan and you'll never get Geil (or anything else except generic and corsair) ram from them either.
    Plus Scan can't guarantee the E8400 E0 stepping which is better.

    Re: Check this setup for me before i order..

    Oh one more thing ive noticed...is it worth me going for a gtx260 maxcore over a normal gtx 260?
    its 216 cores comapred to 192 and its about £20-£25 more

    OCZ vendetta 2 cooler good? read it was good value the more expensive ones seem a bit of a rip off

    Not sure about that, if it's more than a 4870 then it's not worth it as that was released to compete with it. As for the cooler, it seems okay for the price (£22 right?), there are better but if you aren't going to overclock to the max then it's okay, and seeing as you're getting an E0 E8xxx cpu then you won't have heat problems with that.

    Having read some reveiws the gtx 260 maxcore drops a tiny amount below the gtx280 in performance until u get in really resolutions, i cant get a 4870 i dont trust the compatibility issues with ati, but basically a gtx 260 maxcore is about £25 more and is almost a gtx 280 so seems decent value

    Well if those reviews sway you and you trust them then get it. Can't suggest any alternative as it'd be an ATi
