What list is that root.

The keyboard and mouse sounds cheap and nasty as does the DVD writer

[root]

DVD writers are pretty cheap anyway

tried to get on it all i could from one supplier... scan.co.uk

[thescruff]

Gives me something to work on.

Rich will add more to the thread I'm sure.

I've got a couple of comments Root - I'm not trying to be anoying, just helpful!

I wouldn't go with a triple DIMM configuration as the Z68 chipset is dual channel memory, so two, or four DIMMS gives the best performance. Triple DIMMs are ideal with a X58 chipset, which supports a triple channel memory.

You would be better using an SSD like the OCZ Vertex 3, or Agility 3, which can take advantage of the 6Gb/s SATA on the motherboard.

The WiFi card isn't a make I've heard of and I perfer to stick with known brands, but it may be fine.

The PSU wattage seems high for the spec.

I can't see a Windows 7 license.

Yes, DVD writers are cheap.

no worries, as i said been a while since i have bought a system good to dream though
(psu was on offer )

[root]

as you said in a previous post, end users just dont have the buying power that manufacturers do!

chillblast are making some good specced machines at the moment too

[thescruff]

Got a link to that Billy

Aria are a good, known OEM - good guys.

I do notice there is also a Video editing workstation too, but this 'Audio' one is a corking machine.

Perhaps try and price this up vs buying seperates? As we said earlier...buying power goes a long way!

I want a new PC now.......

[thescruff]

I think the same spec would be nearly double with what I have so far.

[BillyGoat]

Crazy, isn't it.

[chat_to_rich]

That's a good spec, saves you building it and you get 1 yrs warranty.

[root]

that is a better spec than their video systems

[thescruff]

That's a good spec, saves you building it and you get 1 yrs warranty.

Looks good Rich and as you say save me testing my skill level

Could go for it if the car passes the MOT tomorrow, and I'm left with all this surplus cash.
