Help on Spec Please

[Matt_180]

Hi guys, Now i've finally got enough money together i'd like to build a new computer. I'd like it to be fairly future proof, its for general use plus occasional light gaming.

The only things I don't need are the PSU (I have a 500W Coolermaster one spare) and also the optical drive.

Everything else I need new. I'd quite like dual monitors as well though.

Its been quite a few years since I've built a PC so I'm a bit out of the loop with components. I put together one that I thought wouldn't be bad, but honestly I haven't got much idea.

My budget is around £800 including monitors.

Thanks

triple channel ram is for I7 systems.

5770 sucks compared to a gtx460.

harddrive is slow one, change for a F3.

get 4gb of ram instead make sure its dual channel ..

get a 460. 768mb or 1gb depending on budget .. the 1gb is far superior

im sure a 955 would be sufficient for everyday uses .

f3 as suggested

them maybe save the rest for two better monitors like :http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-033-BQ&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=

Thats great, thanks for the suggestions.

Would the spec above be the best value for money taking in to account what I need from it? Disregarding the monitors of course

As I may order components tonight

 

[stulid]

its perfect.

ETA: Monitor review - http://www.trustedreviews.com/monitors/review/2010/03/03/BenQ-G2222HDL---21-5in-Monitor/p1
and to say that a 1GB card is much more suited for running two monitors.
