Another queiry was fans and cooling, i was told that ill prob need more cooling via fans or water..... as from the link to the support page above which has a piccy, can you advise on the 7 W's on cooling plz....

I'd rather go through BFG then PCW.

Re cooling, most if not all shop bought PC's have cheap cases with poor cooling. Just make sure you have an intake and exhaust fan.

Regarding to the 8800GTX's power consumption, the reviews Ive read seem to put the *enitre* system wattage at around 450w under maximum load.

My system atm has 2 extracter fans at the front grill, no intake fans though.... and its 400w Max with a added network card so ill need a PSU upgrade anyway...
