I would get rid of Vista Home Basic and instead pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for slightly less. You'll get a lot more for your money and it will be worth the wait.
(or if you're a student: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/studentoffer/default.aspx)

In the meantime you could probably still get hold of a copy of the Windows 7 RC or if you have a copy of XP floating around it should see you through..

Looks nice otherwise :)
(3rd party cooler if you intend to overclock that phenom?)
 
Thanks for the replies guys and no im not a student wish i was lol just pushed 40 but grew up with the spectrum,comador 64 age so love playing games kids cant get on lol thats what the consoles for.I would love not to order vista tbh the problem is i have tryed to find the RC for windows 7 untill the full version is released and i dont have a copy of xp only a copy that came with my old pc that is a fujitsu boot xp cd so im stuck with ordering that vista.Also im a bit cash tight aswell as i have to get parts for another pc aswell but not to a high standard as this so that is why i have gone for the 260 and not the 4890 which would be my first choice.
 
I was thinking that to when looking at it with the built in ati graphics but i went on the price lol i had or have (not working now) an amd althon 1.8 with a gti 4200 it has ran for 8 years untill a flash and a bit of smoke and a smell of wires burning (PSU blew) took it out lol very sad felt like one of the family.
 
Okgoing to order in the next hour but before i do is there anything i should change on this but i am going for the saphire 4890 gfx card i think anf leave the monitor for now as well as i have one for the time being.
 
slight build revision changed the HD as the f2 is the 5400rpm version and replaced it for a WD blue with 7200rpm
Changed card to xfx ATI 4890


RE windows if you want contact me and ill send you my RC copy of windows 7 until you get a norm copy sorted out, wheather it be P2P transfer or post (if you cover cost of a cheap dvd and postage)

I'ld save your money and in 2 weeks time order win7 before its released and get it delivered
