You can do it for the budget but it is tight. The OcUK graphics card is on pre-order and I know nothing about monitors so I'll leave that to someone else.

There is a case in the specification I posted because it all fits into the budget. If you can't wait for the graphics card to come into stock (check with OcUK directly when that might be) then drop the case and get a more expensive one, otherwise that specification should be fine.

When you upgrade now is 1gb of memo ok for now or are you best getting 2

2gb memory is better by far, what component are you thinking about skimping on that you might only get 1gb instead of?
