Hi guys first post on this forum so hi to all.

I have just put together this system. It will be my first build but my budget is around £1000. The following came to £1032.49.

Asus GeForce 9800 GTX+ TOP "Dark Knight" 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 - Retail (66I-02393)
Iiyama ProLite E2207WS 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Asus P5N-D nForce 750i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black (No PSU)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD2500AAKS)

what would you be using it for? gaming i guess?
I would go for this (pretty much my spec (see sig)) + the things i havent included that you may want.

Oh and i dont know why i put that compound in, i would personally go with AS5

If you really want to go quad, then the phenom II CPU's are quicker than the Q6600, which is getting quite dated now. The Tri core above is perfect for gaming and at a great price for performance, matching the more expensive dual core CPU's from intel and even i7 aswell.
