Thanks for all the advice and feedback....here is the final spec list and ill be heading to the shops tomorrow . Asus P6T deluxe core i7 920 (will overclock in spare time) Antec 1200 case (or anyone with similar space or cooling) 850W corsair PSU or Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V...

wow what a system ??? brrrr can feel that chilll over here

OMG, now i feel like im gonna be guilty for eva if i dont go ATI, lol.....I know i should take ur advice but i cant budge from nvidia :P thanks a million though.

yeah i know i cant get em posted here, im getting someone to buy em bring em :) so shippings not a problem. my only problem now is PSU, if im gonna over clock and have a gtx 280 will 750W be enough, or shall i go 800-1000W ? wat do u think?

hey itchy, thanks a mill for the advice, i understand the ATi might be good but im just inclined to stick with nvidia....im sure even you know wat ATi driver problems are like :P The ram you suggested is 1333Hz but i picked a 1600Hz one, how can they be just as good? please elaborate. thanks :)

thanks rage , ill start looking at newegg for the parts, but i have some last minute questions. Should i get an 850W PSU or higher to OC the i7 to 4ghz?

thanks a million bro, does anyone know what psu is best for over clocking the i7 920 to say 4GHz max.....800-1000W? any suggestions?

or you could use my initial spec list ?? antec 1200 Asus P6T deluxe core i7 920 850W/1000w corsair PSU or Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V 6GB DDR3 corsair PC3-12800 (1600) 1GB GTX 280 (BFG oc'ed) Samsung SH-s223F/BEBE disk drive 1TB Samsung F1 Hard disk Mouse: Logitech LX8...

thanks rage and itchy, i considered yor advice but i think ill stick to the core i7..... i just think its better investment wise. Besides are the specs you mentioned good for gaming? My aunt has offered to buy the parts for me in america and bring/slash post them in two weeks........so can you...

id like a link to the products please, cause im trying to build one myself. this might be of some help

Thanks itchy, so if i switch to a E8600 OC 4.0ghz cpu, gtx280 and 6GB drr3 could you suggest a spec/price list for me and would this be a better move cost wise?

thanks for the reply, your idea does seem quite understandable but wouldnt that mean having to ditch both mother board and ram when i want to upgrade to a core i7, probably costing me £400+ then??

thanks itchy eyes for ur elaboration, it was quite helpfull. So if you think its better to avoid sli or crossfire what mother boards would you advise, althought i still think im gonna stick to the Asus P6T deluxe , i would love to hear your opinion. Also im looking at a 22" monitor for now, then...

Thank for the advice rage, your parts list is very intresting and i will be getting one Gtx 280 for now, but i was wondering wether the Asus P6T deluxe mobo ischeaper as it offers cross fire aswell. And the componentds for overclocking can wait as OCing wont be till later for me :)...

Guys thsnks for the feedback, I wouldnt mind a Spec list (with prices & links) for a gaming rig ; i7 920 , gtx280, 6gb ram (1600hz), 160GB velociraptor & 1TB 7200RPM HD, Keyboard and mouse, ad 22" monitor, sli ready mobo (overclockable) will definately overclock i7 920 to 4.0ghz :)
