Hi,
Sorry for my first post on these forums to be a cry for some kind of help.. But, here it is:

I havn't built a computer for 3+ years, possibly longer, and in that time I have taken no notice of the new advances in technology and so on. I am however, at last, looking to get myself a new computer, I have about £650-750 to spend. So far I have come up with this:

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 (£133.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-161-INv

ABit IP35-E (£54.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-129-AB

OCZ 4GB DDR2 (£64.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-087-OC

Asus GeForce EN8800 GT 512MB (£164.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-142-AS

Western Digital RE2 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache £67.99
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-146-WD

Asus DRW-1814BLT DVD/RW (£16.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-032-AS

Corsair 620W PSU (£64.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-004-CS

NZXT Hush Classic Series Silent Computer Chassis (£53.99)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-004-NX

Sub-Total: £632.99 before VAT, £758 with it.

Anything I have missed? Any comments?

Im just looking for anywhere I am wasting my money, or where it could be better spent.

I have also never had any experience with SATA before.. Is it, as far as a simple nab like myself is concerned, simply a different plug than IDE? Or does it have special requirements etc? Besides of course the motherboard supporting it, which im fairly sure the one I have chosen does.

Thanks.
 
Thanks, I'll look in to that :D

Also, is there any kind of comparisson chart for the GT/GTX/GTS graphics cards? Just want to know what kind of difference Im getting for my money, and therefore the best all round (cost/performance) card to go for.

No, sorry - My name is nothing to do with Northern State, who I'm guessing are a band? Its been my name for YEARS, and tbh.. Im not entirely sure why.
