E4500
Evga 650i Ultra
160gb SATA2 Spinpoint samsung 8mb cache
Purple Epic 512mb X1950 pro
OCZ XTC platinum rev2 cl4 2x1gb.

What do you think of this setup? Came in at £300 on the dot with some as5 ceramique.

Its bought so no hole picking, ive talked it over with many techies and this seems the best i can do for £300. Later i can always jump on a HD 3850.

From what i've been told around £300-£350 for the equivalent of double a GTX

Would be a decent guess, most new top end cards are around that price when they come out, maybe a tad more upto £400+ for the "oc XXX turbo nutter" versions.

I think i'll be sticking with my gtx for a while too.
