I think you should get this build, i recently purchased a similar setup. Its fantastic. It has great overclocking potential with the included watercooling kit.

Hahaha, lol! £1500 and you're using an Athlon over a Phenom II or an i7, not to mention a measley graphics card with DDR2 RAM, fail tbh.
 
whats happened to this thread??? Ive been reading spec threads for a long time on here and never have i seen recommendations as appalling as these. Stulid and Redmint seem the only two capable of specking anything worth considering. seems little odd to me.
