ok dokey...intel it is...tbh, the list he's created for me will proably be the one,
allthough im still going for the antec 900 ultimate gaming case, reviews say
its good (it was even mentioned in the review for the card simon suggested)
and i love the looks also...apparently with that card you really need a psu
bigger than 500w?? (again from the reviews on microdirect)

again, get rid of that stupid emermax, you can get an antec that's just as good if not better for about half the price

Enermax ftw~ and if you want, you could pay the extra and get the 620Watt. I use that on my 8800GTS.
But, agreed with the case... I just picked one that was reasonably priced, looks pretty good and had some good airflow.
Happy buying and yes... the Intel kicks AMDs technology's out the boat.
