Also I noticed when I installed the NVIDIA Drivers for the GPU it had the settings down as if it was in SLI mode and I had to change it back to a single GPU profile, this was in the NVIDIA Control Panel software.
Is this correct?
I totally agree where you are coming from and both of you make good points to each. To be honest with you I just got a little greedy and money wasnt an issue so I just went for the 965. I am going to Watercool the CPU as I do want to run it as far over 4.0Ghz as possible, obviously it has to be...
Well I have yet to push the GPU yet as you know and esp making such a school boy error on the cable front that is the first thing I will be sorting out when I get back in.
You know you cant resist.......:rasp:
Fans are on low at present and I am happy with the noise level, going to monitor temps etc. The dust is better on the fan filters than inside the system. When I sell my old system I may look into Watercooling as I want to push the CPU/Mobo to around 4.1Ghz :)
You will be supprised how quite the case runs on the low setting :). TBH having a "silent" system doesnt bother ne. At least with some noise you know its working lol.
I will also see what my temps are and have a play around with benching with and without the Memory Cooler attached.
It may be an idea to pop a 120mm fan on the side pannel as this would be right on top of the memory anyway.
I will see how things go.
Roy your completely right. Massive overlook by me on the PCI-E front :dapprove:.
First thing I will be doing tonight is getting that changed over, still cant beleieve I didnt even click when I was installing the GPU :o.
Thanks again for your keen eye.
Thanks for all the comments :)
I will be doing further tesing tonight i.e will be getting Prime95 on the go, 3DMark Vantage etc and I will post up some figures :)

System is built and I'm fooking knackered lol. Really enjoyed building it and using some quality components :)
Currently it's intalling Vista Ultimate x64
Will try and get some pics up later :)
I already have an Antec P180 (I think) lol and its ace and the 1200 has lots of good reviews :)
Well they cant make the memory any hotter so I will see how I get on with them. :)
