    drop the thermaltake psu ... there are better brands to get than that like enermax, corsiar, zalman and pc and cooling .... you can get a lain li casing too and drop the CM ammo casing ...

    Sorry Joker, didn't see it. I'm on my phone. Only issue I have with AM2+ is that its pretty much a dead end.

    Its not a dead end mate, That pc is built so that its fully upgradable, The mobo supports AM3 cpu's, all the parts mach, ati and amd only, Mobo supports crossfire, power supply supports crossfire ect.
    I'll do an intel 1 for you tonight.

    @weakest link: The power supply I chose is a monster, it is needed for when he wants to run 2x 4870's in crossfire and for the cpu,under full load that cpu alone draws around 280watt. Im a big fan of the corsair power supply's but the 700watt corsair costs pretty much the same and I know this thermaltaake is awsome becaue i built a rig for a friend and that psu runs like a dream!!

    Lian Li cases are insanely expenssive!!
    The cheapest 1 retails for a round R1700 and it looks like a piece of shit!!

    Thanks, my knowledge on AMD is limited and extra options are always welcome.

    Not a problem mate, just trust me..lol!!
    I know what im talking about, anyway i'll do an intel rig for you and then you can decide.
    The intel rig won't be as good a the amd 1 purley because intel parts ar pricey but i'll do my best!!

    the lain li casings are cheaper here ... www.landmarkpc.co.za ... i dont know about you but i think the CM ammo looks abit crap ... would rather go for a lain li casing since its features is way more and there is so much you can do with the casing ...

    damn i didnt relise the psu prices shot up so sky high ... i remember buying my zalman 750w psu for around R1500 ...
