I'm spec'ing a PC for my parents, trying to convince them that in the long run, it's more of a benefit to build your own rather than buy from Dell. I am planning to overclock this to get the most out of this, but could you suggest anything that I could possibly cut back on. As for the monitor, I do have a spare ACER TFT, but it's reasonably old.

Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler (£34.06)
Hyundai ImageQuest X71S 17" LCD Monitor - Black (£125.71)
Intel Core 2 DUO E4300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail (£112.79)
OcUK 1GB (2x512MB) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (£71.66)
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£82.24)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620A ATA-100 16MB Cache - OEM (£54.04)

Have done, also, I doubt my parents would notice the difference between Vista Basic and Premium, hehehe. So now it's at £643 inc. Vista, VAT + Shipping.
 
Yeah good idea, do you not think its better to wait till Vista has been 'tried and tested' before delving in. When a new OS hits the shops I have found it always better to let others find the bugs, and problems then purchase it 6months down the line ;)
 
Meh, maybe, but I'd prefer to be able to utilise the 64-bit, and at least see, I personally won't actually be using the pc *that* much, and It could be a welcome change from the usual.

Maybe Vista might not have 'many' bugs in it......

May be.
