I'm looking to buy the parts and build a really good system using what would be considered now as “old” hardware, basically out of date stuff. This is mainly because I know it will be a lot cheaper in the long run even If it doesn’t necessarily give me super performance in the latest DX10 games (not a requirement). Basically, I know the 7xxxGT nVidia line of cards was and still is really good and I was wondering if I could base a system on this.

It would be used for video and music editing mainly, plus the usual word processing and internet browsing and light gaming.

I tried having a look in the forum archives to see if system build threads still existed from around 04 and 05 but they don’t seem to be there.

So can someone recommend me parts that were amazing then and are still respectable now. I hope this makes sense 
 
Anywhere up to £400-£450 would be applicable, although I do have a spare 80 gb hard drive somewhere that I can probably recycle.
 
Nope don't need accessories, just the system... thats looking nice, will definetley be able to work off that. Thanks a lot!
