Looking for advice on spec'ing a new system.

Hi - thanks for the reply -

I did go for the 3570 over the 2500, simply because at the oc I was looking at - iro 4.3, temps seem ok to most of the oc'ing community - seems over 4.5 the chips really start to get warm... and at a roughly 10% faster chip, 4.3 is still as fast/faster than a 2500 at 4.7 or less, and whilst some chips get to 5, I'm not an oc'er myself, so I figured 4.3 was enough for me.

and once I'd set down that path, the 670 specced pc was not much more expensive than one with a 560ti. And the job of buying a pc from one of the "little guys", was that the pc had win7 pre installed, but with no bloatware other than a demo file on the desktop that plays as a instore demo - and the cabling was beautifully tidy inside,and the spec of stuff like the psu was of a good quality - advertised as just a 600, but actually a coolermaster 650gx.

So, ordering my CLOD from UBI shop tonight, and hopefully will be flying with you guys shortly. Thanks for answering my questions...
