Hey guys first time poster but read a lot and buy most of my stuff here

right straight to the important stuff, my budget is 1500 i can stretch to about 1700 if need be.
Im looking for a high end computer that can handle pretty much everything as im still on a P4 currently with a geforce 6600 (yes i know its very old lol)

Ive put together this so far and i reckon it looks pretty good just want some opinions on it and advice as to anything thats better for the same price ect.

Excuse the crap screenshot im on a tiny monitor and my paint aint working properly so couldnt crop it

Also will this come with everything i need wire wise, will i need to buy anything else? and will they beable to reach behind the 1200 motherboard tray and back to their relevant parts.
 
i would get a WD green for storage and a 500GB for OS

drop the GTX285 for a 4890 or GTX260

do you need all the features on the MB?
 
are SSd's really worth the price they are currently, yeah i know they are very fast and silent but i've also heard quite a lot of bad things aabout them.

im a nvidia fanboy so ati is out of the question. Any reason why I should go for the 260 instead?

I guess I dont need the 2 lan ports on it as it is for home use, I am proably going SLI in the future so the extra pci slots is a must.
I'm also going to be overlcocking the 920 as its a sin not to do it. any recomendations for other motherboards then as I dont know a lot about them, im just going of what i've read on here
 
because you could get 2 and sli for cheaper then the GTX285 and also there are new GPUs by Nvidia rumoured for 2010 Q2 so saving £150 - 200ish now could mean a new GPU to play with closer to their release date
