me and my mate have used eBuyer PSU's for years with no problems so all should be well *crosses fingers* but thanks for the suggestion :)

Same *touchwood* when I do build a new pc I intend to get a decent one that?s as quiet as possible th:):)

I?ve always planned on getting one of these 10,000rpm hard drives: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114117 or if I?m rich when I build a new pc two of them in;)aid ;) then have something like a 500gb drive for storage.

Well you do know that prices could drop meaning you could of got that 8800GT for less along with the other stuff but of course prices can go up.

Enjoy your hardware in boxes...waiting... :cry:

:p

I know ;) Prices have already gone up from when it was launched. You could buy the first batch for about 140, now they're 170/180. They'll probably start dropping just after christmas or something, but I've decided now is the time to build. Ram is cheap, HDD's are dirt cheap, The cheap 8 series card has come out (cheap for the performance) and the CPU is cheap. And the torrent of great games coming out helps the decision too :p (especially SoF3 which I've been waiting about 6 years for!)

Waiting with all the boxes will be torture :( I might draw a computer screen onto one of the larger ones and pretend I'm plying it :blush:

I took the advice of the members here in the end and got a named PSU. The one i got looks pretty damn sweet, and should be nice and quiet. Along with being efficient and cool(ish) :p

Keep your dream alive! You'll build it one day ;) and then you'll sit down and use it and whisper to yourself "It's just as awesome as I thought!"

forget about "adding another 2 GB of RAM" unless your Vista Ultimate is 64-bit.

Hiper might be a name brand, but so is e-machine. Dont know how things work "across the pond" but this time of year is pretty hectic in the hardware market, everyone is releasing new stuff (hardware & software) and all the sales for the holidays - might want to hold off until after the holidays and you get end-up either saving alot, or being able to afford a lot more.

The old question of: "should I upgrade now, or should I wait ?" well you should upgrade when your computer is no longer fast enough for you. period" (but consider the market's new releases since price drops usually follow)

then 1 week later something else will come out and your computer is already dated forcing you to go through trhis whole process again because god forbid you fall behind the times, I mean what would the Jones next door think of you if you were still touting AMD, & ATi right now ?? :)

Update: Upped the ram to 4gig (Yes my vista willbe 64bit Ultimate, also it will be useful preparation for the future!)

and ordered the case and PSU. Should be ordering the CPU later this week, then maybe the rest on the weekend, if not all the rest then at least some of it. Everything is going well so far :p

I can't wait. My computer is obsolete now. I need one now to play crysis, sof3, tf2, UT3 etc. :D
