Hi guys, its that time of year again (student loan instalment time for those who aren't aware)

In anticipation of this, my Vapochill PE case is currently winging its way oop norf to a guy up there who is going to give it an upgrade (240v TL4A compressor, LS lineset and evap, DSH coil and a regas) Si the cooling is still sorted


What I'm after are opinions on this proposed spec, I use the PC mainly for net browsing, listening to music, usual MS word etc, and a bit of programming, with the occasional game, nothing spectacular (Ghost Recon at the mo, probbaly counterstrike soon).

The spec I propose is as follows;

Core2Duo 6300 (With a bit of an overclock on it, nothing mad).
Asus P5LD2 SE Motherboard
2gb Ram (DDR2 PC2-5400 I think?)
2x80gb SATA HDD, run in RAID as one primary drive (giving double bandwidth?) - a mate recommendied this, i don't know much about it
200gb IDE disk that I already have for filestorage.

An for the graphics I was thinking of an X850XT, as I'm not a big gamer, I don't know anything about cards! It needs to be OK for games and spot on for Vista Aero. Either that or if it's really crap, I might spend £50 extra on a X1950 Pro.

Any opinions welcome guys, especially on the graphics card front

PS. I'm thinking perhaps I should save the £50 on the grpahics card and stick with an X850XT and spend the saved £50 on a better motherboard, ASUS around the £100 mark perhaps.
