Well here it is, I think I am going to purchase this setup:

Please comment on it aswell as checking if it is all compatible etc.

Thanks, Liam Finch.
 
Looks all good, im 'almost' sure the PSU will be ok.

Its worth checking all your hardware including mice/keyboards/printers etc have Vista 64 compatible drivers.
 
Would get a different case and PSU

PSU - Corsair 520HX would be excellent
Case - Lian Li and Antec do some good ones.
 
main concern would be if the psu could handle the 8800 card.

also, have you had a look at the ocuk hanns-g widescreen 19" monitor, think its about £108.

rest looks fine, as per Jaffa may be worth checking if all the kit has vista drivers.

EDIT:

as per wills comment that kit would be worth it if possible for stability and allowing you to overclock the kit.
 
Looks good but then I'm pretty sure I specified something almost identical for you about a day ago so I would say that. The PSU will be fine but if you really want to get a separate PSU and case I'd suggest an Akasa Zen and a Corsair HX 520w which comes in at around £100 for the pair. :)
 
Where would I go to check the mouse and keyboard compatability? There is nothing about it in the description.

Edit: This spec will be able to play all latest games on HIGH Quality right?

Go to the manafacturers websiet and look for drivers, not really important for keyboard but it may be for the mouse, depending which one. Definitely worth checking for printers/modems/other cards like network cards.

Edit: Double post :(
 
Okay, I have removed the case and swapped it with the case that jaffa and semi pro suggest aswell as the PSU suggested. is 64-Bit Vista necessary?

Edit: Semi Pro, Yes you did suggest something very similar yesterday :)

Is this the type of place I should be looking: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/Download.mspx

Or totally the wrong thing?

That would be the right place if there were any drivers available giving extended functionality for the keyboard/mouse. I'm not totally sure if there is or isn't but they will work basically anyway and if anyone will have Vista compliant drivers for their products it should be Microsoft.

As for the rest of the parts, they should all be ok but check the motherboard, graphics card and perhaps the monitor as everything else should work automatically through the motherboard. :)
 
Ok, I'm a bit bored today so from the Gigabyte website you have drivers for the motherboard for Vista x64.
There are no drivers for the monitor on the Asus website so it cannot need any, it must be recognised automatically.
You get the newest Nvidia drivers here and they definitely have Vista versions, not perfect at the moment I believe but improving all the time. :)
 
If you aren't going to be overclocking or if it will only be very limited overclocking then the stock heatsink will do, however they tend to be noisier and less effective than an aftermarket solution such as the Noctua.
