    Thx for all your comments/advise:thumb:,I think I will opt for the OCZ vertex 120GB or the 80 GB Intel X25-M 2.5 inch SATA SSD for win 7 & my most used programs & 2X1 TB spinpoints for data/storage, i will also forget about raid,and the thermal fan controllers,I may also drop the sound card as I only use sound for games (FPS and Strategy)

    My Revised PC

    Antic 900 two with 2 extra fans fitted(the 1200 is a bit big for my desk)
    Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R X58
    Intel I7 920
    Titan Fernier cooler( or Coolit Domino A.L.C. Advanced Liquid CPU Cooler???)
    6 gb(3x2 gb) 1600mhz Corsair XMS3 w/Heat Spreader
    Be Quiet 750w Modular PSU Dark Power Pro
    Ocz Vertex 120gb or the 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD
    2x 1 TB spinpoints
    2x DVDRW Drives
    Internal 52in1 Flash Media Reader/Writer
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit Edition) OS
    Graphics Card???? not sure what to go for here,I was thinking of a GTX 275 then a ATI 4890 and now a ATI Radeon HD 5870(need fast FPS at 1920x1200)???

    I just ran this through Cyberpower and it came to £ 1504 inc vat and 3 Years Warranty the quote included the ATI 4890 and the 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD

    and at Computer Planet :£1414 inc vat with 12 months warranty (only changed the OCZ 700W Stealth XStream PSU & G.Skill SATA-II 128 GB SSD & a Zalman (CNPS9900) Blue LED Tunnel Flower)hd4890

    At Scan £1,471.78 inc vat and year warranty( changed Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Dual Fan Quiet CPU Cooler,HD4890


    your comments would be appreciated thx Tony

    Try Chillblast ...they consistently get better reviews for their systems on PcPro etal than Cyberpower, with the benfit of being cheaper! You might also want to take a look at Wired2Fire who also often beat Cyberpower.

    with your budget you shouldn't get a 5870 right now you should wait for the new compettitor which is comming out soon and the price of the 5870 will most probably go down so wait till then but you can still buy alot of your pc system now

    and do you need to buy a new monitor, keyboard and mouse as i am gussing you don't have a nice 24" monitor
