Ive done the deed and gone ahead and purchased the first bits i can afford in this months pay packet.

Slightly different from what i was proposing originally and hope everything looks fine.

Not to sure about the mobo but it got good independent reviews and it were fairly cheap so i went with my gut feeling.

On next months shopping list is GPU,PSU, HDD, Soundcard and what ever else i think of.

MSI is actually starting to grow the charts in my opinion. I used to not believe in them at all, but they have come to put out some awesome boards. I think they made the Neo2 and the Diamond series boards which are very high performers. Especially on overclocks they are right up there with Gigabyte (and blow away ASUS and Abit IMO.)

MSI has been pretty good over the years. Actually, the motherboards I’ve been using as of late have been MSI. They’re not the super screaming overclockers like DFI, or more recently, Gigabyte, but they’re just easy to use.

Unexpectedly i now have all the pieces to my new computer puzzle. The final piece is on its way after winning the item on Ebay.

Better than the MSI 8800GT as well. EVGA GeForce 8800GT KO SuperClocked Edition 8800 GT on eBay, also Graphics Video Cards, Graphics, Video TV Cards, Desktop PC Components, Computing (end time 07-Dec-07 16:45:52 GMT)

Time to get building…
