Thanks, chaps.
Right Lumooja has sold me on the 8800GTS... this was also a fave on a recent Tom's hardware review, but it is probably going to push my total cost a bit over budget. Oh well....
Dreamora... I'm with you on the mobo specs. Def going with 2GB DDR2 ram. I have an Athlon64 in my current system, but I may plump for a brand spanking Core2 DUO setup.
The choice of motherboards out there is bewildering, and even after some research I feel I have no clue. How hard is slotting a CPU into a mobo? I'm toying with going for a pre-built bundle deal.
Can anyone comment on the quality/value for money of this one?
