Maybe, maybe not, but it is worth a try. ;)

I am enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would, I only got into Ozzy's back catalogue about a year ago (have been a sabbath fan a bit longer) and much preferred the earlier stuff. Much better than black rain IMO.

I don't know if any new boards have 2 IDE connections, this fits the rest of the requirements though. Do overclockers sell any PCI IDE cards?

I have heard nothing but good reviews for the intel SSD's and that is why I chose that one, if anything else has comparible random read write speeds i would consider that. I already have a spintoint F3 1Tb, and other storage (500Gb HDD with linux on it, 1Tb external drive) so I don't need any...

No, I am only using a single 450W modular corsair power supply, the Antec 300 was referring to the case, sorry. What cases would anyone suggest? I do like the look of the the corsair 700D and 800D but they are way too expensive for me right now.

Was thinking about getting these and selling my 450W PSU and that will make not much over £600 hopefully. Would it be better to just get a 2nd 5770 or sell my current one and upgrade to a 5870 or something? Are there any better SSD's in that price range at the moment?

So I have caught that bug and already need to upgrade again. I am running an i5 750 at 3.9GHz on a GA-P55-UD4, 4Gb 1600MHz RAM, Sapphire vapor-x 5770, 1Tb spinpoint F3 HDD, BenQ 24" monitor, Gigaworks T40's. G500 mouse, G15 keyboard. All of this with a 450W corsair PSU and Antec 300. How would...

When I was trying to change the boot priority in the Bios it wasn't being shown at all despite the same cables etc working fine with other HDD's.

I am not sure of the exact motherboard model, but the 2nd drive which we tried was also a sata2 drive, for now we have just put it back in the caddy.

I was trying to diagnose a problem with a family members hard drive yesterday. The 250Gb SATA2 drive has up until now been used in an external caddy and still works perfectly in said caddy. But when we try to put it directly into the motherboard using sata and sata power cables it is not being...

What is the budget for the rest of the components? And do you have a keyboard, mouse or monitor already? Do you have any other needs for the PC apart from gaming? I will try to spec you something if you can answer me these.

For the first time I am very tempted by AMD, I might build a rig with one of these later on in the year.

This is crazy, the 4Gb of corsair XMS3 has went from £83 to £109 in less than 3 months since I bought it.

Gigabyte GA-P55-UD2, micro-ATX sized board but very good for OC'ing IMO. You should definitely be able to reach 4GHz+ with an aftermarket cooler and semi decent chip.

I wish benQ did a version of this with both LED backlighting and HDMI input so I could use it for my PC & PS3.

It shouldn't if you are cooling your system/CPU well enough and you are not overvolting things.

What CPU/Mobo etc are you using? I would suggest setting all the CPU settings back to stock and start overclocking from scratch.

5 runs may be enough for a good estimate on temps and to see if it is super unstable, but once you are reaching thetop of where you are trying to overclock to you need to test a lot more than that IMO.

5 loops of intel burn test on a system far from ensures it is stable. I have passed 26 loops of intel burn test and failed on the 27th on a pretty mild i5 overclock.

I think that is probably the problem, i am using an antec 300 and only currently have the stock fans in it. So 1 intake on the roof and 1 exhaust on the rear. I will add a couple intake fans at the front and hopefully that will help a bit.
