Note: I know these topics are all over the place and are annoying, but I ask here because I have nobody in real life I can discuss this with, or even on MSN. :)

I am unsure about the graphics card. I play games @ 1400 x 900. It may be wise to spend an extra £100 on a graphics card, just to future-proof the system some more, perhaps an ATI HD 5800 series card?

Anything you think I need to change or consider with this potential build?
