    Been saving my pennies and have approx. £950 for my dream machine.

    Looking at:

    E6600
    2GB 800Mhz Ram low latencey
    Mobo - not sure - but need reliable one for gaming and video editing
    88000GTS 320Mb card - BFG looking good.
    Quiet - good cooling gaming case - Antec 900 looks the daddy.
    2x 500GB 16MB cache drives - WD
    Onboard sound - if decent mobo
    Gig lan
    Firewire
    Power supply - quiet
    DVD burner - would like lightscribe and robust burner.


    The main areas I am looking for advice on a good memory mobo combination that will work with the Antec case and a decent power rated power supply preferably as Eco friendly as poss and enough power for the gaming !

    E6600-£167.16
    2GB 800Mhz Ram low latency-£56.99
    Mobo-No clue
    88000GTS 320Mb card-No clue but seems expensive
    Gamer Case-You can't get it in Europe (I think that's where you live.)
    2x 500GB 16MB cache drives-Woah! Are you sure you want this? I priced this at about £477.284!
    Onboard Sound-If you mean like a speaker on the processor or somethin' then I think it comes with it already.
    Gig lan-I don't understand what this is. Neither did Google or Yahoo.
    FireWire-I think it comes on with the Gamer Case. You'll have it I think if you even get it.
    Power Supply-£109.627
    DVD Burner-£139.786


    I'd also recommend an extra external harddrive that's 500 GB and here in the U.S., they go for about 140$.
