New Build, Need Advice

Hi all new to the forums, just need some advice/help on a second build. I've looked at the i5 and i7 and 1366 chipsets and 1156. My current/ex build was a q6600, GT9800 512mb, 4gb xms2 ram, 2.5tb(only keeping 1tb) in an antec 900.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within 1 Month - No more than £800

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Movies(Already have 1tb HD), Adobe CS4

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, speakers

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: www.aria.co.uk / www.ebuyer.com COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United Kingdom

PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel chips if reccomended

OVERCLOCKING: Yes - If doable SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Unsure

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200 on a Hanns G - 28"

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Big Case - Quiet case. Something bigger than an Antec 900. Possibly using a series of smaller drives in Raid for OS/Programs. Friend having trouble with an intel SSD so unsure. Will be running windows 7


Thanks all,

James

Ya have vista business and getting 7 soon, within a month.

Ideally I'd like to use some sort of raid setup for my main harddrive/program disk, might be able to afford some extra hdd's.

Would you reccomend several smaller hard drives in raid, or just get a SSD? I think i average around 90-110mb/sec on my samsung spinpoint F1's at the moment. I will most probably use my existing 1tb f1 for storage and get another tb or 2, for further storage.


Also is there any major difference between the f1/2/3?


Thanks for helping out with this, other comments/suggestions or builds reccomended too!


Cheers,

cheers toaster! bollocks to that Eco crap!


Hmm still what to do with Raid on several small capacity hard drives or a SSD...
