For my 3rd machine.....

....I was thinking of the following spec.

Intel Pentium 4 920 Dual Core "LGA775 Presler" 2.8GHz (800FSB) - Retail (CP-111-IN)
XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT73G-UDD7) (GX-079-XF)
Gigabyte G1-Turbo G1975X Intel 975X (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400 TwinX (2x1GB)
Western Digital Raptor 74GB WD740GD 10,000RPM SATA 8MB Cache - OEM
Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 NCQ 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM
Western Digital Secure Connect Serial ATA Cable
Akasa Serial ATA 45cm Blue EL Data Cable
Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - Blue
LG GSA-4167BRL 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - Retail

Opinions?
I have a budget of around £1000 (give or take) and ideally this will be used for programming and gaming....not extreme gaming but multitasking. Anything that doesn't look right or you would change for a better piece of kit?

TIA.

Looks ok but...

If you were willing to wait you'd be able to change that somewhat lacking 920 for a conroe, I know i'd certainly hold on till it came out if I had a grand to spend.

From what I've read, the new Intel chips paired with 2 x Crossfire Card destroys the same setup but with a FX60.
