Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2PT)
Is this ram any good?
Is there any better for similar money??
What are the best SATA drives at the moment?
I'm looking for a couple of 160Gb one or possibly 200Gb.
Going to order this later ready to build the machine this weekend!
Any sugestions of good e-tailers as I'm put off by Ebuyer as they have just take a week to deliver my motherboard.
Cheers
Scan is very good. Savastore also. Cpucity.
That ram is good for the money. Get a seagate HDD.
What about the rest of the system?

Cheers I'll have a look.
This is the confirmed components just for the initial get it up and running!
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
ATI X700 Pro 256Mb (ATI built)
3200 Winchester stock HS+Fan.
Building the machine on a buget at the moment but I cannot see it staying like this for long.
I'm not a fan of Scan either the sent me a DVD drive covered in one layer of bubble wrap and then stuffed in a bag so when it arrived damaged they blamed the courier. It still took them a further 2 weeks to sort it all out and a number of phone calls.
U must be unlucky my man. I have had good experiences with Savastore.
How much are you buying the x700 for?

I would get an Nvidia 6600gt (unless you are an ATi fanboy). They are faster then the x700's and usually cheaper.
The X700 has cost me £73 it's 2 months old.
The 6600GT is one of my next upgrades but I'll look at getting 2 for SLI or possible a 6800(and it ain't even built yet LOL). I do like my Ati cards though.
Id also give G.skill ZX a look for about the same price on overclockers.co.uk, not sure how these two compare though to be honest.
Just though I'd fill you guys in I've ordered the Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2PT)
But on my travels I came aross these Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 NCQ 160GB these are Sata2 drives and as the motherboard supports these I thought I would give them a try.
I only managed to find one store with these and as luck has it the did the ram too.
Does anybody else make the sata2 drives yet? I was surprised to find them as I didn't think they where available yet.
Tell us how the ram goes when its arrived.

TBH thats where they are comming from!yes ebuyer=bollox... sorry but thats the only way you can describe them.try www.overclockers.co.uk they PWN.
There prices seem to be much better of late and the gave the best balance of price and delivery.
As you can tell I'm new to the site and I wasn't aware that the site had trader feedback.
Will look at this in the future tho
I know some people have had a few problems with RMA'ing goods back through them. Shame, they stock a lot of stuff others don't too.
