now I'm a bit scared that the 4850 is not going to fit into the Aerocool I-curve+ case

Nothing wrong with force3d. ATI reference.

So do they supply anything special to the game i.e. Custom built PCBs?

Get a cheaper motherboard, you don't need all the features that one provides. A Gigagbyte G31 will be just fine. Use the money you save on a better cpu or gpu.

Ok motherboard price is ok but I see it doesn't have PCI-E 2.0 Thats what I want. Maybe wait for the MSI G41 to get in stock.

MSI P43 is super cheap and covers most bases

and it does have pci-e 2

Jip but will have to wait for a price on the G43 or G41. That maybe ever cheaper. but agree the P45 looks like a amazing board for it's price. Ok think of going for the "Antec three hundred"

only diff is ddr2-1333 vs ddr2-1066

which is so similar to a P45 that when we peeled the ‘P43 Neo' sticker off the board we could see the PCB is printed with a ‘P45 Neo' legend

Would got coolermaster elite.. far cheaper and have 120mm fans

I meant the P43. Ok can you also put a 120mm fan on the side on this elite case http://www.prophecy.co.za/coolermaster-rc334-elite-nvidia-edition-windowed-side-p-36518.html or how about this one http://www.comx.co.za/CH-CE334-Cool...-case-Information-Price-Buy-Cheap-p-26410.php I also think the Antec 300 cooling is a bit better in cooling. I'm a bit worried that the case will not have really good cooling like the antec 300.
