Gigabyte K8NF-9 nForce4 (PCI-E)
Plus whatever the fastest PCI-E X800 is I can afford with change from £525 (200? seen an XT for £202 inc).

Some questions please:

1. Is this a well balanced system, i.e. am I better off going going for the 3800 San Diego and cutting back slightly on Graphics?

2. Is Geil Ram ok?

3. Is that Motherboard ok?

4. What does VIVO on a gc actually give you in the real world? Is it worth spending more to get VIVO?

5. Is this good value and I safe buying from these guys? http://www.pcbuyit.co.uk/product.asp...nc+power+cable

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.
