thanks for the advice made some revisions based on them, stepped down a size on the monitor as i thought it might match the ps4 a bit better?

system that this replacing is
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz
OCZ ReaperX HPC 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz
Asus Rampage Formula Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 x2 in crossfire
Asus Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card
Zalman Reserator XT Water Cooling
its been a pretty awesome machine never requiring any sort of maintainance really but it is a bit noisy and the reserator takes up a fair bit of room.
iam proberly going to give it to my parents so was thinking of putting a 60g ssd drive in there for windows would that be ok on a motherboard that old?

thanks again
 
so after much late night browsing and deciding to bust the budget a bit, i think this is what i have settled on and will order it over the weekend unless anyone can see any errors. went for 16g memory in the end just cause i know it will bug me if i dont i presume it is compatable with motherboard etc
