Thanks, when i've finished deciding on all the parts i will do some bargain hunting on each product cause money is pretty tight.

Thinking of going towards the saphire ati radeon 4870 1gb, any thoughts on it?

I advice you to buy the 4870, it's one of the best video cards, and it's worth the price.

Oke thanks a lot, over at the overclock forums they were telling me to go for this card too.
