None of us will be getting the £1500

ideas plz for cpu, is intel much quicker than amd 6000

At stock the X2 6000 is about the same as an E6600. But the E6600 overclocks to a far faster speed.

which h/sink fan /other

Tuniq Tower 120, Noctua NH-U12F or a Scythe Infinity.

mobo ?

Any of the Intel P35 based boards or the EVGA 680i board for an Intel CPU. I'm not up-to-date on the AMD AM2 boards I'm afraid.

vista / still tooo buggy or stay with xp ?

Vista all the way.

ram / how much and what for xp and vista if thats the way forward ?

2gb should be enough for both. 4gb if you have the money, tho 32bit XP and Vista can only use 3.2gb.

iv got a wd 76 gig raptor so im gonna get another and raid 0

8mb or 16mb versions? Tbh it's not really worth the money RAID'ing 8mb Raptors these days.

whats the best graphics card , happy to spend here

nVidia 8800GTX is the current daddy.
