823249 2009-11-12 23:10:00 Ive got that cpu, im yet to find a use for its grunt.

Have you run passmark on her?,I'd be interested in the CPU result.

823250 2009-11-12 23:40:00 Well, here is the final result. :D

Antec Twelve Hundred
Silverstone 750w PSU
Asus P7P55D Pro
Intel i7 860 2.8GHz
4x2GB (8GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600
Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD
Prolimatech Megahalems CPU cooler with 1156 socket mount and Scythe LED Fan

I can't believe I bought the Antec Twelve Hundred over the TJ-10, but I did. Really do like the look of it.

That lot is also going with a 750w Silvertsone PSU, Asus GTX 260, 3x 1TB, 1x 500GB, 1x 320GB and 1x 250GB Seagate hard drives. Going to use my current LiteOn DVD RW but upgrade to a BluRay drive/DVD burner soon.

Going to wait until Nvidia release their new graphics cards, re-assess the situation and buy a big mother something or other card.

Thanks heaps for everyone's help, especially Sol with the technical stuff about SSDs etc. This was by far the most difficult build to put together I've done, there's so many options right at the moment to choose from.
Nice,,,,:drool

823252 2009-11-13 12:11:00 Ran passmark, not really sure how it all works but overall results...graphics are the bottlekneck by far I think

Stock
Overall: 1535.6
CPU Mark: 6122.0

At 4ghz
Overall: 1906
CPU Mark: 8187

Super pi (1m) at stock is 11seconds, at 4ghz 10 and 4.2ghz 9. Not sure why but significant drop in time for 4.2ghz but couldnt get it cool enough cos ive had to butcher the 775 mount on the cpu block to fit as the "i7" bracket doesnt fit socket 1156

Any other benches anyone wants give me a yell, its kinda fun actually lol

823253 2009-11-13 20:11:00 My CPU score was 1200.:confused::confused::confused:

I'm having a hard time believing CPU's got many many times more powerful in such a short space of time.
