Hello guys, will be upgrading my Monitor, Speakers, Mouse + Keyboard, Graphics Card and getting a Soundcard. Will be upgrading my **** Cpu Cooler (Artic Freezer Pro 7 :eek:

) at a later date.

This is what im thinking about getting so far:

HP W2207 Widescreen Monitor £230 inc VAT
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £187.99 inc VAT
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music 7.1 Soundcard - OEM £49.34 inc VAT
Enermax Aurora Brushed Aluminium Keyboard - Black £49.34 inc VAT
Microsoft HABU 2000dpi High Precision Gaming Mouse - Retail £37.59 inc VAT
Everglide Titan Monster Gaming Mat £13.28 inc VAT

Edit i have just decided on my mouse mat.

Im also after a nice Sound System, can anyone recomend me one? I dont want to spend mega bucks on the system.

Im looking at the Logitech X-530 Speakers: http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/4218.jpg and the Philips SPA2600 5.1 PC Speakers. From a well known shop. Like i said im not after top of the range, just would like to replace my 2 pathectic type speakers that i have now.

Are you looking for 2.1 or 5.1?

Have not used the Habu myself but a mate of mine got his the same time I got my copperhead (also 2000 dpi) and wasn't happy with the habu - something to do with the buttons, maybe the side buttons.

I've had no problems with the copperhead.

Ah right i see, down to personal prerecence at the end of the day, but changing the mouse now anyway.

This is what im going to go for, im going to get the HP monitor at a later date, since my ASUS 19inch screen is doing well for me still:

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £187.99 inc VAT
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music 7.1 Soundcard - OEM £49.34 inc VAT
Enermax Aurora Brushed Aluminium Keyboard - Black £49.34 inc VAT
Razer DeathAdder Blue 2000dpi High Precision Gaming Mouse - Retail £41.11 inc VAT
Everglide Titan Monster Gaming Mat £13.28 inc VAT

+ Logitech X-530 Speakers (Compeitor) £59.79

Total - 410.54.

Hopefully be ordering in the next few days.
