£900 to spend on a PC

Selling my old rig for £400 plus £500 to add to a new rig. Any ideas what I can get for that?

monitor/keyboard/mouse/OS?

Gaming or business system? Storage more important than video card?
Motherboard/case size?

Your post is too vague.

Going to keep mouse/keyboard and monitor. Using it for:

1) games
2) photo storage
3) internet and office applications

Anyone make any guesses how much the 7900GT and the 3800 X2 will cost come end of March? By then NVidia will have released their answer to X1900XL so prices might drop a little?

I agree totally with Fenders... spec but would swap out the psu and go for something like the tagan instead.
