Build for July just some practices

Overkill psu, go for something like the antec 650w modular new. Also id recommend spending a little more for the 570.

Apart from that, looks nice to me :D
 
All that high end stuff and still with 4Gb of RAM if your spending so much I'd drop the PSU to like CM-Sniper said to a 650 - 700Watt and up your RAM to 6 or 8Gb Ram to start with.....

CPU Looks Sweet but come July the CPU will/may have dropped in price so it may be worth looking at an i7 ?????

24" panel, more powerful cooler graphics card (that can be flashed to a HD6970 - comparable to a GTX580), motherboard that's more stable for overclocking AND supports Crossfire, a cooler to overclock the SB to around 4.8GHz easily, a modular PSU that has the power to let you Crossfire later on!

Ofc, you can add the mouse you want, and you can re-use current optical drive (even the HDD if you wanted, and probs the cooler).

EDIT: Had two lots of W7 in there.

Cookeh it's £24 pound over budget was a strict £1100. I shouldn't have got that phone. And I really liked the Asrock. I also dont have enought space in my room for a "24 inch.

So knock the monitor down to a 22"? :p Still a better system then the one you specced :D ASRock are, iirc an budget off-shoot of ASUS-Tek - they don't make mobos for enthusiasts and generally they skimp on features or let performance slip.

Cool, only thing left to do is change the horrible noisy, cooker that is a Fermi card to a HD6950 - you can flash it to a HD6970, which is comparable to a GTX580.
It beats a GTX570 in pretty much every game and is the same price (if not cheaper!)

Alternatively, you could put CF HD5850's in there, which BEATS a GTX580 for £250!!

8 gb would go over budget and I don't like that case.

SSD? 64GB one for OS and your fav games?

I can't tell how much money you have left over :p

Perhaps some case fans?

EDIT: I used my brain.

Scrap SSD idea, too expensive.

Oh, OFC! Swap the HD6950 to Crossfire HD5850's. Will beat a GTX580 in every game :cool:
