My 9800 is running everything I can throw at it very nicely thankyou.

A bit better than the 9250, its completely different level card. If you are getting that high a processor no point getting less than a 9800pro. You can get the 128m branded version for 80 quid. If you are going to get the 256m version, you might as well get the x800.

Re: Custom PC
 

I have built mine and also a few others using www.aria.co.uk for the parts, good prices. Just about to build a new one for my dad.

Re: Custom PC
 

Yeah Aria are good, so long as you ignore pretty much all of the advice offered by their stupid staff in the product comments.
