Hi,

Everything looks good mate but what about the new ATI HD5870 which is faster in most games.

What about the new Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HDD very good drives and they are very cheap for a 1TB drive

hi, thanks for the reply!
yeah, i've read some reviews i think i will change graphics card
about the HD,- i came across

1.5TB Samsung HD154UI/Y Spinpoint F2 DT EcoGreen, SATA 3Gb/s, 32MB Cache, 8.9 ms, NCQ

considering the +500gig which one would be better?
the one you suggest costs only 13 quid less.
also, coolers?

Hi mate,

The HDD is a good one but the 1TB will be a bit faster then the 1.5TB but for £13 more i would go for the 1.5TB like you said

for the cooler this one is the best air cooler out people run @4.0GHHZ with there i7 920 with this cooler.

But if you wont water cooling which is easy to fit (jest as easy as the air) then go for this
