can anyone see any problems with this config....

It'll all work, but I think you can save some money by getting a GT rather than a GTS. I don't know if that cooler and PSU are any good so I can't comment on them.

How much will all of that run you?
 
All that is £803.02. (this includes a case and dual layer writer which I haven't put in up above)

With the graphics card I want one to last 12 months was considering getting an ultra which will take the price to just over £940 but won't the GT struggle with the latest games soon?

The 8800GT series, better performance for less money... Averaging at approx £176-200+ (Depending on overclocking & similar) as opposed to the GTS in the £200+ zone.

Given the pipes/heatsinks on the MoBo I personally would go for & have gone for myself in fact a cooler that are confirmed to fit onto the MoBo...

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme
Thermaright Ultra-120A
Thermaright SI-120
Thermaright XP-120
Thermaright XP-90C

Tuniq Tower 120 Blue LED CPU Cooler
Tuniq Tower 120

Thermaltake Big Typhoon 120 VX (CL-P0310)
Thermaltake Big Typhoon 120 (CL-P0114)

Enzotech Ultra-X

Zalman CNPS9700 LED Aero Flower
Zalman CNPS9700 NT Aero Flower
Zalman CNPS9500-AT Aero Flower

I went with the ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme... The other most popular is Tuniq Tower.
 
How's this?:

Yeh buying a gts now would be madness when a gt is beating it in benchmarks. Not sure on the CPU cooler, would rather get a tuniq 120 (links for comparison purposes, scroll down).

No idea on the psu though, although im sure itd be fine.

Yiuca, try using yellow instead of blue...that way we can read it :)

Also having just checked out your budget for a cooler im guessing your not planning to seriously overclock, in that case a cheap(but good) alternative would be this.

I noticed only once I posted it! Will try to make sure for next time, I'm used to forums with dark blue backgrounds that auto change link colours is all! My bad! :)

lol thats fair enough, fast edits often help round here too ;)
If you don't plan on overclocking much you can drop to a much cheaper mobo. :)

It does look OK. If you don't need lightscribe you can get a faster DVD drive for less money. You can also save a few quid on the RAM by getting the OCZ I have above. Heck, you could the the el cheapo Corsair value PC2-5300 and use it without problem. :)
 
ok orderd and collected on Saturday installed and setup on a sunday and ran Crysis and it detected everything to be Ultra High and wow very pleased :) though I got the GTX card that was on special last week :)
