im going to be ordering pc parts today.... what is the best UK place to get stuff from and also does this build that I have put together look okay to everyone?
or would you guys get different parts for that price range? im still not too sure if i should get the 9800 gx2 or not since its so expensive and probably wont give me a huge performance boost over a 9800gtx or watever... and also is the striker II a good motherboard?? cus its also very expensive suggestions and comments please

You would be a lot happier with this I think.
From overclock.co.uk ![]() It's 100 pounds more shipped but has an E8500 the best HSF out and Crossfire 4870's and will be much much better.

thanks for the reply mate but i only have 900 unfortunately and also I definately want to go down the quad core route.... and im kinda also preferring nvidia graphics cards at the moment, although those 4870's in crossfire is tempting as ive read good things

Mkay. Take off a 4870 and change the CPU to Q9450. If you absolutely cannot stand Radeon then do not get it but if I were you I would get the 4870, have about 50 pounds extra, and save it to get a second 4870 later because my list can crossfire.
If you absolutely have to get an NVIDIA card then you would have to go down to Q6700 to afford a 9800x2 but they do not currently have those in stock which means you wait or go down to Q6600 which would be a very bad idea IMHO or do multiple site purchases which is complicated and may be worse depending on shipping.

I dont think you should get the GX2, maybe a CF mobo seeing as ATI is back baby!

Or you get a 9800 GTX and a Q9450 but I think that is also a bad idea.

A 9800GTX or just the same an 8800 (GTS92) would be fine + you would save some bucks,and have you looked at the FTW 750i from evga for a board ?
