Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard

Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)

PowerColor ATI Radeon X1950 XT Extreme SILENT Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA663)

Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775)

Total: £470ish... what do you guys think? I only game on a 32" ws so resolution is quite low at 1360x768 and have never been particulary obssessed with AA&AF.. I had an X850XT and imo its still a card suitable for today's game but it was too noisy for my taste so I think the gfx card choice is suitable and there's no need for an 8800gts!

Absolutely perfect. Nothing I would change there.

I would probably change the HSF but that's my choice

Rest looks top notch.
