thanks! I added that soundcard because i didn't want on board and i thought for an extra £17 it's worth getting the Audigy because I have 5.1 speakers on my old pc!

Any other opinions/suggestions?

Don't want to pay another £100 for intel. Don't know to be honest mate but I've got an athlon at present and has always been ok for me

extra £100 for Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40Ghz, 8MB Cache, 1066Mhz FSB)

Is that a lot better then? I will still go with the above spec because I am on a budget
