Well it's usually in paint I have that problem though just checked and it's fine. This is in the new 'Snip' feature. Oh well I'll figure it out.
Anyway as far as the hardware goes I pretty much stuck to the previous links.
I figured that would be more than enough of an upgrade for me and it wasn't worth spending the extra money on the 260 on my budget
on closer inspection the other one I looked at that was geared for nvidia didn't support the RAM I'd chosen.
again the extra for an i7 didn't seem justified to me and it's still nicely new enough to cope with the next few years.
cheapest set of 4Gb I found and comes with its own heatsink on each stick which is always good.

cool, sounds like you've got a rockin' rig. Congrats. Another month and a half and I'll hopefully be following in your footsteps... well, at least partially.

Satis is probably waiting to see which socket the i9 uses so he could choose his mobo

1500 euros isn't bad, though I realize money goes further here as far as computer parts are concerned. I'm expecting around $2k.
I want core i7, an SSD (not RAID, there's no RAID that supports TRIM), 6GB of RAM.... I guess that's the major part. Currently I'm eyeballing the 160GB Intel G2 SSD... it's hovering around $550 on newegg.  That's a ton of money, but I think it'll be worth it. Everything else is the usual price/performance tradeoff. If I have enough cash left over from the build, I'll be getting a 24" LCD monitor.

Thanks Ox, unfortunately what you say is true and I'm sure in about 2 days my pc won't be good enough any more  hehe. You could build a beast with that 1500 euros...
Satis that's sounding nice! Damn you, I don't want to be jealous of anyone else's pc for a while!
