Woah, that looks fantastic. Yeah, I'll be needing a 1080p 20"-26" monitor and windows too...

 

[dfour]

The only thing I would tweak is a
HIS ATI Radeon HD 6970 IceQ Turbo 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE DIRT3 & Deus Ex PC Games £269:99

Maybe take the crucial M4 to 128 gig £139:99 and the Gelid cooler to a :
OcUK H²Flo Extreme Liquid CPU Cooler with Two Gelid Silent 120mm Quiet Fan £58:99


Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM £80

LG IPS231P-BN 23" Professional LED Monitor - Glossy Black £155:99 although it can be had for £15 less from a competitor.

Don't waste 60 quid on the 6970 keep the 60 quid for when the 7xxx series come out and crossfire the 6950 >

True I was quoting before the OP said he needed a OS and a monitor and the 7xxx series wont be out until next year I am reading now
