    Meh i love looks aswell, but i think the Zen looks ugly! The Phong doesnt look great but it does its job more than well and it doesnt look that bad.

    And yes going C2D would be a wise thing to do, but if he doesnt want the hassel of trying to sell it etc the AMD will run fine, and it overclocks quite nicely aswell.

    Thanks all for the advice.

    However I'm going to stick with the MOBO and the case, to keep costs down.

    I know what you mean about the look of the Phong 2 case but looks aren't everything. (I'll just turn the lights down!) If it keeps everything cool and means I can spend more on other components.

    I'll look into the PSU thing a little more.

    What do I need to do to get free "Scan" delivery?
