Okay it's got to that time of year where I can'y hold off any longer and I've decided to splash some cash on a new computer build.

The machines going to be used for part gaming and also some virtual testing of Server Products and Desktop OS's running an internal network enviroment so hence the Q6600.

These are the system spec's I've gone for, any recommended tweeks on the parts? (Will be running main OS as Vista Ultimate 64/Office 2007 Ultimate).

Intel Quad Q6600 (Cooled by Zalman 9700)
Asus P5E X38 Motherboard
Tagan TG580 PSU
Geil 2GB PC2-6400C4 Low Latency (x2, so total 4GB RAM)
BFG 8800GTS OC
Antec P182 Case (Black)
Seagate 500gb HD
Creative Xi-FI Gamer Sound Card
Pioneer DVR-115 (x2)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The good GTX's are all around £300-£350, so a fair bit more than the GTS which was doing aswell if not better in some reviews.

Point taken on the PSU though, I'll get the Corsair TX650w. Also I'll look at the Thermalright 120a cooler, seems a number of people reckon on that.

Thanks, AStaley.
