This is why I posted it up, what would you guys recommend I do. One thing before you say anything, I have a massive prejudice against ATI. I dont know why, but I'd prefer nVidia.
EDIT - Knowing how much of a collection whore I am, I probs would need 2TB eventually :S But your right, it is a bit excessive
EDIT2 -I said at the beginning I wouldn't include a case yet, my opinion is confused.Originally Posted by Colonel Mitch

Woah Seven ARGH Thirty-seven, that is SO worth everthing because it's so shiny!
i7 920@3.8 | GTX280 | HAF 932 | 6GB | Corsair 520W
Hazro 24" | Logitech Illuminated | G500 | Creative 2.0 | Nikon D3100
Try this on for size -
So its barely more than orics and doesnt include an os... but lets be frank... were you really going to buy that?
Where do we start....
fastest consumer grafics card in teh word, comared to a 260gtx.... maybe 3rd or 4th fastest
6Gb ram compared to 4
High speed, low latency DDR3 tripple chanel comapred to DDR2 dual channel
Brand new intel i7 processor(which i believe hyperthreads to 8 logical cores) :O, compared to normal quad core
A good enough power supply thats normal size and half the price
A half decent case... compared to... err.. NO CASE
2 750Gb drives which you can still raid and wont cost you the extra for the extra 500Gb you wont use
BLU RAY DISK BURNER compared to 2 dvd-rw (when do you burn 2 disks at once?????)
and a reasonable set of keyboard and mouse that youll play jsut as well with, that also includes a webcam so you can look at yourself on your awsome pc, speakers (that'll b shit :P) and a headset - oh and there BLACK.
so, for about the same price as oric if u give his build a case.... i think the words ROFLPWNED come to mind
EDIT: Also the moterboard is read for tripple crossfire with 2 16x pci-e slots and 1 8x pci-e slot
EDIT2: if you add the price for the second drives onto orics its actually more than this one

Ok, I see this is turning into the long desired 'bash oric while you can' thread.

Let me, and the rest of the community make this simple...
DO NOT BUY AN NVIDEA HIGH PERFORMANCE CARD AT THIS TIME!
IT WILL BE EASILY OUTPERFORMED BY AN ATI 1 THAT COSTS LESS!
Do I get a wiffle batOk, I see this is turning into the long desired 'bash oric while you can' thread.
oh... My new computer has a gtx 260
GTX260 is good value, about the same as a 4870. Mitch, your spec also doesn't have a monitor which Oric did, and to make use of the 4870X2 you're gonna want a 24"+ which will cost £200-300.
Also, keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset, webcam, all for £24? Talk about cheap, seriously, everything will break two days after you get it. I also don't like the PSU, you need something hefty for the 4870 but also from a reliable brand which I don't think that one is. It looks cheap. The Blu-Ray drive is a waste unless you watch DVDs on your PC. And you don't have an OS, are you seriously suggesting he pirates an OS?

Can I just say, who's the noob now Piers
Nice one Phantom lol.
ATI Card = Cannot play Mirrors Edge. It uses PhysX and the min requirements are an GeForce 6 series with 256MB of VRAM, no mention of ATI.
SOURCE.
Check most games, some do include an ATI requirement, but not all. Games which one of them back is likely not to have a requirement for the other, although it will work fine.
Well, I was going to post a reply disagreeing with almost everything you put in your original spec., but that seems to have already been done!!
Colonel Mitch and Phantom seem to have said what I would have said (ish). You want an i7 processor, 280 or X2 GFX card, reliable power supply (personally I like corsair and antec), decent ram (> 4GB these days would be good - probably GSkill, corsair or OCZ), not a ripoff keyboard (I still love my G15), bluray drive (if I was building now, I would buy one (if I had spare cash)), and there aren't many i7 mobos anyway right now, so either an Asus or Gigabyte for now I think. For an OS, I would still go with something 64 bit, so probably Vista 64 since XP 64 sucks balls. The case is always subjective, but you want something with enough space, and perhaps a removable mobo tray.
Can you explain the diff between 32 and 64 bit?
64-bit allows you to use all of your RAM, 32-bit limits you to just over 3GB. That is ofcouse if the application supports 64-bit, if not it is run in 32-bit and you simply only use 3GB of RAM on that App.
PhysX is only nVidia.
