    Don't get 2x[any old card] when you can get 1x[a new one] and drop in a second later if you so wish.

    Also the Core 2 socket has scope for upgrading in the future as Intel role out faster chips and more cores. I'd suggest an E6300 though, and buy a better one in a few years or something.

    Don't bother with SLI, just get one faster card. Better performance, less power drain, easier to upgrade, probably cheaper.

    I'd probably stick with a single hard drive for the time being, then stick a 1tb one in later down the road for the same price as a 250gb one now.

    Had a look at pricing up components to build myself an upgradeable system and for another £200 I can get this

    A bit more than I was wanting to pay atm but with interest free credit for 9 months seems I would be daft not to.
