Ok so the rest of the Gear I need! is either here or on it's way!
I now have the following to add to my collection!
Intel i7 2600K 3.4Ghz Lga 1155 processor
PowerColor PCS+ HD6950 2GB GDDR5 (Vortex II Edition) Graphics card.
850 watt power supply
Almost their! Started to strip out the G5 case, Man I almost felt guilty doing it! this has to be one of the nicest machines I have ever worked on! Everything stripped out of the bottom half and motherboard and power supply now removed! A friend reckons that it maybe possible to convert the power supply to work on the new system! not sure about that may just use the power supply Ive just got and strip it out and use the old case! we shall see!
Sorry forgot to add that I have taken pictures of the strip out and plan on documenting the new installation may even do a video only thing holding me back at the minute is the motherboard tray and back panel still cant seem to source one! anyone in the UK know of a case with a removable M/B tray and back panel let me know thanks Ray
