So, been viewing these forums for the past few days after looking to build my own PC (not attempted this for a very long time). I have come up with the spec below, was wondering what folks thought..??

Thankyou for the replies folks, really much appreciated

I was thinking of waiting for the dx10 graphics cards; and i am able to wait, but unsure of prices and what cards will be available, not looked into it in detail but will do now.

Thx for adding the CPU fan in their too btw hp7909, wasnt sure whether or not i got 1 with the CPU or not.

Also, why is the DS3 better than the DS4 (apart from price)?

Oh and i plan on going SLI @ some point so thats why i went for the NVidia card, easier with the bridge as apposed to the crossfire thing with ATI, as far as i can tell.

I also forgot an OS lol, need Win XP or Vista but unsure which to go for, does Vista have compatability setting so i can run ancient games in their (of the time) OS's?

i hate being semi-n00bie when it comes to building PC's, anyway, thx again folks
