Budget PC - For Gaming

[magicturkey]

Hi,

I have already placed an order for the following items. Have I made any major mistakes here? I have no intention of running my graphics cards as SLI, hence me not getting a board that supports it.

Antec Sonata II Case

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Socket 939 Dual Core 2

Asus A8N-E SKT 939

Gainward BLISS GeForce 6800 GS Goes Like Hell 512MB

Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 NCQ 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS3

I am really worried that the Gainward 6800 GLH card was a mistake. Searching on here, everyone seems to slate it. However, it has received some very favourable reviews on other websites. This card is about £170. I cannot afford to spend more. (well, maybe an extra 30)

Have I made any major mistakes? (I still have the distance selling regulations to fall back on at this stage - I haven't opened anything).

Cheers

Thanks for the advice people. I am in the process of returning the graphics card. Today, I place an order on OCUK. Guess whats on special?

PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-PC) for £199.95 + VAT (was 214.95 + VAT).

Hopefully I have got it right this time !!
