Ok - all up and running, much much quicker than the older system and loving the low temps + quiteness of the build. A well worthy setup for sub £200 !

some good suggestions! - ive also come across Freemake Video Converter which is free, but very very easy to use!

The antec is an older case and it still quite expensive, however it still serves a good purpose but requires modifications if you require to hiding a lot of cables.

That silverstone fortress case looks awesome, love the curviness to it. Fortunatley i didnt buy a new case when i upgraded so its now at the top of the list!

Also bought some homeplugs, steaming HD content is fine!

Always used AVG - very nice for free with the amount of built in shields it uses

Having the same thoughts, 30 in 2 months - already grey hairs and nearing the point of no return! Its the time to forget about birthdays that to celebrate them.

My main issue was the alcohol intake and lack of exercise. These two changes and the weights dropped off. Lost a stone over 2 months and still going. I think what helped is that alcohol in any form doesnt seem to agree with me anymore so i couldnt drink it even if i wanted to, but its scary how...

I have the VG236HE and have to say its an awesome monitor, however its sat in a room without windows so there is less glare..

Typical after not long purchasing the 23", still a bit pricey though considering some IPS panels are now the same price for that size (ignoring the recent issues *cough*)

i would recommend no smaller than 40gb for the primary OS. If its a media pc. chances are it would have an additional drive for the mass storage anyway so a completely silent solution would be costly for a media PC...

I had an issue recently with performance, turns out that using a proper driver cleaner when upgrading Drivers is pretty important. Driver Cleaner Pro.

I recently purchased a razer naga, have to say its the best mouse ive ever owned. Also i had a razer copperhead with no issues. With any product, not everyone can be manufactured perfectly.

definetly recommend the Logitech MX518, great mouse!

That settles it then, i will be going with that PSU - as you said, best not to skimp anyways. Thanks for the input everyone and your help - ill report back once i have the parts and hopefully all together :)

Just had a look, the PSU is a 650w and has a 20pin connector with a seperate + 4pin connector which appears to be seperate but not used on the board i have... whats the verdict now, possibly a decent stop gap to bring the price down? It could be the PSU is actually newer than the board / cpu as...

Gah, prices are going up with diagrams i know little about :S

I will have to check when the kids have finished on it, but it is old and unbranded. The only other option is to ditch the case and go with a 500w coolermaster.. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-230-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat= I already have a case i can make do...

Am i right in thinking this case comes with a 500w PSU already? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-043-OP&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat= If so then i think this would probably be the choice i would go for then... Seems like a better deal with a seperate 450w PSU costing £20...
