Oh also if you have any friends with too much time on their hands please do get them to do it and I'll give them each a shiny penny to spend on sweets.

Ok one last thing, a PC with those specs would last how long in your eyes? The hardware market gets better all the time but I'm not too fussed as I've used this 4GB, 285 GTX, Intel Core Quad 2 (2.66 Ghz) for a while now and even then I'm able to get on with my work but a lot of time is spent waiting for stuff to load or export / render so that's why I'm upgrading because it's affecting my daily work production.
Oh and thanks a lot. I'll have to pay you back somehow. Maybe a little reference in the game I'm working on ;>

Alright Penguin thanks for the long reply. Really useful. No matter what, I have to go with pre-built and I'm not too fussed with the overall price. If I have to pay more for some guy to come down and set it all up and make sure it's working along with 3 years cover then I'll gladly pay for it. I'd be on the edge of my seat all the time if I had no cover ;D
Keep in mind I want this PC to last a long time as well so no overclocking and I primarily use it for modelling, working in UDK and gaming so having all these high end programs open at the same time so I can multi task is the most important thing to me.
Anyway so basically I'm limited by the options on PC Specialist so going by those specifics lets see, so far we have set in stone:
Processor: Intel I7-3770 (3.4 Ghz) 8 MB cache
Memory: 16GB Samsung Dual DDR3 1600MHz (4x4 GB) - I think I'll stick with balanced for now.
GPU: Nvidia 2GB Geforce GTX 270
I'm unsure about several things.
And finally which sound card should I get? I have a logitech 5.1 surround sound from my previous PC which I'll be using.
Oh yeah and my friend said to set the primary harddrive as an SSD so I can load the OS on to it and tell it to use it as the primary drive to boot it up and set the secondary as storage. Is this the right way to do it? He's not 100% expert so I take his words with optimism.

It's ok I already got all the information I needed. Suffice to say it surprised me but it's worth it because it'll help make the level run better on other peoples PC's / laptops.

All you have to do is add me and I'll send you a link.
Strider I actually wouldn't mind you testing it. The framerate is fine on my PC but my friend has an even better PC and he gets some nasty drops. Let me know when you're free.

Gotta live with our past Jim. I too have a negative history that's permanentely recorded online. Face it head on and you'll prove to yourself that you've grown up.

Thanks peeps. The pipe pile as I like to call it definitely needs your suggestions however we're leaving it as it is for now because as a gameplay thing we're not sure it's needed. Ingame it looks silly when you run on top of it so whenever we have a disagreement we basically say "Let's throw it on the workshop test pile."

Same. It's never easy and it's made worse when your pet died before it even got a chance to experience a long life but at least your dog had a good life.
Happy New Year folks.
Ho ho I totally forgot about it. That takes me back.
Thanks dudes!

Which Motherboard should I get? What's the benefit of each one?
http://puu.sh/2ayd4
Same with Power Supply, which one is worth getting?
http://puu.sh/2aymT
Which fans should I get? Should I get the extra fans?
http://puu.sh/2aydu
And finally which sound card should I get? I have a logitech 5.1 surround sound from my previous PC which I'll be using.

Thanks for the help so far.
