I mainly want to know if it will all work together, but feel free to suggest alternatives :) -

I'm using my current case and psu (recently purchased Corsair TX750), basically if it's not in the cart above I don't need it.

To give you an idea of how overdue this is, my current specs -
Athlon 64 X2 5000+ @2.6
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4
4Gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2
9600GT

I'm expecting quite a performance increase...
 
 
Thanks for the replies all, much appreciated.
Interesting that you all suggested ATI over Nvidia, I guess they just win at this price point?

In the short term, the main use of the PC is web dev, but in terms of what's going to tax it, I'll also be gaming and video editing, hence the 16Gb ram.
In the medium term, triple screen gaming (I only really play driving games), more video editing, world domination.

I am swaying towards paying a bit more for a better graphics card.
For what I do, I know I don't really need that cooler, to be honest, part of the reason I picked that one is cos I liked the look of it :D
What I'm actually doing here is treating myself, I could spend half this and still see massive improvements.
 
 
and a pretty nice one at that, cheers!
I'm tempted to just push buy on what you listed, but I won't have time to build it until the weekend, so I was planning on waiting until Thursday... if I can.
Thanks for the advice :)
 
No probs :)

The motherboard is on This Week Only deal's which end Wednesday morning, it will only go up by £3.
