Call me daft but is that the graphics card? Was looking at more expensive cards but I was just a touch over budget and though the ati card would do for now.. can always splash out on a monster card next year I did look at the 6950 but on comparison sites it only seemed to have roughly 10percent performance (over 6870), so I wait for next generation

Cool, that is where I get my systems from usually and I can not fault them. I have a similar system in mind but I am waiting for the new z77 boards to be released to see how they fair, it's an awkward time at the moment with everything incoming.

Actually the boards are already available but they have little to offer with a Sandy Bridge CPU, just USB 3.0 support. Little to see wrt Z77 just yet.

HOWEVER ... when the Ivy Bridge CPU's finally come out (supposedly in about a month) the Z77's will suddenly be the flavor of the month (at least amongst those that can afford an Ivy Bridge processor)

So they are going to be expensive then, damn. Well at least they could drop the price of the older i5's.

Exactly, I have a "cheapo" Asrock H61-HVS motherboard, costs about 40-50€ and the cool thing is they've released a BIOS update for it that makes it Ivy Bridge CPU compatible. I've got a i3 cpu right now and it's absolutely awesome! but the time will come when you'll need at least 4 cores for gaming and then I'll just upgrade to a ivy bridge CPU which will be much cheaper in a year or so.

Looking forward so much to getting CLOD booted up!
