So I think I might be waiting a few days on Shreks advice and see what happens with these ATI R-600 chips.
But this is my set-up so far, does it look ok?
Want to be able to mildly overclock it, and not looking for an extreme games machine.
6300 dual core
2GB crucial memory ddr 4200
Antec p180 case
Seasonic M12 600W PSU
Hitachi Deskstar 320 GB
Hitachi Deskstar 500 GB
Pioneer DVR-112DK
Sycthe infinity heatpipe
Now mptherboard not sure here to go for either
Asus-p5B E-plu, or P5b deluxe, the deluxe has crossfire support but is about £60 more.
Waiting on card.

Deathstars are good but the Spinpoints (samsung) are butter
I'm guessing that includes an Antec PSU

and unless bilbo can actually find an advantage it's because he's a fanboy 
and the card you're going to buy is quite powerful (obviously) so you wouldn't need a second card anytime soon ... your choice really ..

But I couldnt find the antec one I would have had from the shop anyway so seasonic it is they have a good rep as well.

Aye dont play that many games anyway think I might just stick with a single slot, and spend the saved cash on some headphones.
