Well i was planning to, but tbh, the parts I was looking at, are very very expensive, may as well just keep this as it plays everything fine (when it doesnt BSOD that is).
I am not going to pay £800-£1300 for 1 CPU thats for sure, or £400 for a mobo. which tbh are not "that" much better than this.
No they're not, you have some orsum HW there man, Shirley. I mis read your post I thought you said you were getting a new PC, you certainly don't need one for a while. Maybe just do a re-install that usually fixes all the small headaches for me
Well it does look like resetting the mobo or the new gfx driver worked for the BSOD not 1 crash in 72 hours, usually its 5 a day at least. so hopefully i wont need to reinstall.
I just need to play a game for a couple of hours, and that will tell me for sure.
as for a new PC, I may just add onto this one.
I have got 8gig of OCZ Reaper X HPC PC26400 ram (4* 2 gig sticks) just sitting here, but i cant install it as it wont fit into my mobo, i need the next mobo up so it will fit, the huge heatsinks on them is the problem.
So what i may do it, Buy a case, I am looking at these cases
Thermaltake Armour VA8003BWS Black Full Tower Windowed Case
Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred Full Tower Case
Coolermaster HAF 932 Full Tower Case - High Air Flow Design
Coolermaster Cosmos S Black
Lian Li PC-80B ArmorSuit Black Aluminium Full Tower Case - 12x 5.25\" Bays
Lian Li PC-X2000
A good PSU no idea which one.
A better Mobo to fit this ram
Keep the CPU
Keep the HDDs, but buy more depending on case i get.
and get another 8800GTX and SLI them
but it will be buy 1 thing every 2 months or so, so it will be xmas next year when it is finished at the earliest lol
just one thing, have u rose your PCI-E frequency from 100 to 101 ? many times it solves those compatibility problems.
one more thing that came to my mind: do you have the latest BIOS version installed in your mobo ?

The 1200 is also a good case, the antec 900 being my second favorite next to the Silverstone TJ07 , but do you really need a full atx tower? It's HUGE if you don't why not get the antec 900
