i'd imagine all, i didn't see much point in posting, its clearly what most of the people around here would spec anyway. sorry if im coming across a bit grumpy, but was there much point posting this? :(
 
Everything looks compatible to me. Should be able to run all current games without a problem at all unless you are using a huge moniter?
 
Heres what I came up with, OK its more expensive, but if you use the mobo, ram , cpu and cpu cooler, you can reduce costs further by choosing alternative gpu, hdd, case, etc etc...

I am assuming your price is without VAT???

The reason I chose a 8800 gpu instead of 1950 is because the 8800 is only another £20 more...so why not have dx10 although its not out yet...

Its what i call bang for buck...

Also if not overclocking then you dont even need the tuniq tower, purchase a retail cpu instead of an OEM...

dwarf: thats what i advised tosky when he was creating that chart as i have a pc 7+ "It will fit but the card kiss's the HD cage, Also depends on mobo and how many hds used "....small world...haha
