Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Thanks for all the help, at least I have a PC working for the moment. I have started a new thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1576607
Looking forward to a new PC now :D
O.K after baking my old 8800 Ultra card and getting some life back in to it I am now looking to build a new PC as mine is 5yr's old.
I would am going to use my old Antec 900 case but am not sure if my old Corsair 650W modular PSU will be up to the job
Now to answer those all important...
Glad to hear the case should fit all if a bit cramped, The old GFX card is back in my machine and is working to a fashion. I geta good video display, but when using the Post processing effects I still get some artifacts, not as many as before but still some. On the upside I can use this setup...
O.K here is where I stand. I have been talking to my wife and she has given me £500 to re-build with If possible I would like to keep my Antec 900 case (if it's big enough)
Now given what has been posted so far what would people recommend for this price as a rebuild I would need:
Mobo
CPU...
Well I have just finished baking my card, now got to wait 1 hour for it to cool down. While I do I am trying to figure out what RAM I had in my system. As I can't get a display atm I am googling all the numbers on my Balistix Ram chips
samuelmorris: cheers for the links nbut coming in at a min of £480 might be pushing my budget a little. But with the soon release of the 560 we might see a price drop.
I will have to check what RAM I have and cook a GFX card for tea tonight :P
So far I have just been looking on eBuyer as I have it open atm, keeping my current memory, PSU and case, this is what I have looked at so far:
CPU: Intel Core I7 2600k 3.4GHz Socket 1155
Mobo: Asus P8H67-M PRO H67 Socket 1155
GFX: Gigabyte GTX 460 Super OverClock
This lot would cost...
