this is the system I am planning on getting, but i still need to know, does this all fit together? And how will it handle UT3?(i am also getting a thermaltake blue orb 2 cpu cooler, 3 extra case cooling fans, a 12" blue neon light and a 500w power supply)

I can't hear text

It'll handle UT3 just fine.

[Drintion]

You may benefit from another gig of ram (2x1GB) but other than that, it looks fine

[Dr.Crazyhead]

yeah, i think i might take your advice, another gig of ram would do it some good(i would like to be able to play both UT3 and crysis on as high settings as i can without spending over £550)

[DHJudas]

please check which onboard sound solution it is..

if it's ANYTHING other then REALTEK ALC88x series... (where x is 2/3/8/9), don't bother.... it'll be garbage

[AFG34]

another gig or ram would be nice, and the PSU is weak sauce

since you're going all out, go ahead and get another 8800GT and get your SLI running

ignore this person. He's a proven monkey.

(on a more serious note)
SLI still isn't worth it. The single GT will be fine. If you really want, chuck some money in a savings account and get a single new card in a years time.

The only things that stand out (not major issues):
1) Get 2 gigs ram (DDR 800 will be fine)
2) Try get a minumum 600Watt PSU
3) Unless you're confident you can handle 160GB, get a 500 or 750.

Even if you can get those, you'll run UT3 just fine and dandy. but don't expect Maxed out graphics... I think the best systems out today will struggle.
