Excellent choice of upgrades. After reading your first post those were the two first things I'd be upgrading. I think that'd be the best bang for your buck, especially if you're doing any gaming. Overall I think you've got a great system. If you haven't already you may also want to run the system through a benchmark and post your results and compare it with some of the other members to give you a better idea of how the system is doing.

Yeah Harry very nice build after the upgrades. Just out of interest what screen are you using and other peripherals.
I'm slowly building a new build but due to some unforseen circumstances I needed the money for other stuff. This is my build stuff that I'm going for and slowly getting. I did up for an extra HDD though to give me 1.5tb plus I have 3 externals now equalling 750gb


XFX 5830 graphics card
Core i3 530 CPU
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H board
Patriot 4GB 1333MHz RAM9
Sapphire Pure Modular 625W PSU
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
Samsung DVDRW
Antec 300 case
Logitech G11 keyboard
Logitech MX518 mouse

Calum was a great help in picking out what was best as he is in the business.

Is that a typo? 'Over 4gb of HDD' .... I don't think that would even cover windows 7

Yeah that's the one. A nice healthy size of space. HDD's are not that expensive these days my 1tb drive cost only £49.00, RAM is the real money killer, so expensive.
