Basically im looking to get a new pc, accountant said i can get a computer if its £2k or more on a single purchase and still claim the vat back (im a limited company on a flat rate VAT scheme which works quite nicely seeing as i have no expenses bar fuel/occasional accom)

First ill ask the ocuk question.
Would ocuk be able to supply me with 2 invoices? 1 for me with a breakdown of each part bought incase of rma etc, and a seperate VAT invoice as if the pc was supplied in one piece for the total amount?

Anyway, i want a 24" screen, quad core (i encode as well as game), decent gfx card for gaming, recently got my mate a 280 and that burns through crysis on his 19" monitor, will it do the same at 1920*1200 res? or am i better going with issues that the 4870 X2 brings for the added speed it offers

This is what i was thinking:

undecided on monitor, not sure i trust the dell 2408 with all the issues people have been having, basically want to use this computer for games, internet and movies so a bit of everything, minmal ghosting and lag would be ideal if possible with a mint picture

I know the psu is overkill, but i have a OCZ 520 psu from back in the day and its rock solid, it blew up when i first got it, had a new replacment within the week which imo is excellent service, plus i wanted modular so this fitted hte bill even tho its slightly OTT

already have a mouse and speakers and good ole audigy 2 zs sound card ill be keeping from my current pc

Was thinking raid the 320gb's, and the 1TB for storage

edit: add a copy of vista on there too

Any advice? mainly monitor advice here

Looks like a solid system. Samsung make some nice 24" monitors - I would post in the monitors section if that's the main advice you need.

well and the gfx card for the 24" monitor, as well as the advice for the VAT invoice, heh thought id make one thread as opposed to 3 or 4 seperate ones in each forum

cheers
