Gone with an M-atx mobo, so onboard graphics until you get a graphics, but it does allow for a better power supply.

Oops read the first post as he wanted a 19" monitor :rolleyes: yeah that 22" is much better :)

Everyone seems to be sugesting same CPU/RAM/Case/Monitor so should give you a good idea where to start, either get onboard graphics and save for an upgrade later or just get the best card you can afford after adding PSU/HDD and Mobo.
 
shadowake while i appreciate your opinion plus would have bought what was suggested had i bought from here only with such a small bugdet there wasnt a great deal to choose from, aswell as my M/board being out of stock as i was about to order,(first time ive shopped outside of ocuk)I know intel is a little more exspensive but IMHO i find they do clock a little higher and cooler so will stick to what am familiar with cheers Guys;):)
