I need a little advice...

[dtaylorjones]

I'm thinking of build a new pc.
I want to be able to run a few games and 3DS max with ease.
Using Crysis and Supreme commander on highest settings as benchmarks.

So far I have selected the following components I just want someone to point out any mistakes I'm making or if I can get similar/better components for less money etc.

I've only chosen CPU, GPU and Motherboard so far

Motherboard: Asus P7H57D-V EVO Intel H57 Express 1156 Motherboard £127.57

CPU: Intel CPU i5 750 Quad Core Processor £152.93

GPU: Nvidia 9800GT (Gainward) £80.90

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ah. Ok. I havn't been on top of PC hardware for some time and last time I was "on top" the 9800GT was a top of the range card.
I wanted to go for SLi too. Thus my choice of motherboard.

I have a Samsung 32 inch HD TV I was thinking of using for a monitor.
A case and about 3208617512986213 powersupplies to chose from that I've accumilated over the years.

my budget will be around £700 but I'd like to spend as little as possible obviously because I'm a uni student and thus poor.
