Looks OK from here might want to swap the RAM for a 2 x 2GB Kit though and think about a modular power supply.

1. Modular PSU.
2. E8400/E8500 instead of quad.
3. 2x2GB 6400c4 memory kit.
4. Spinpoint F1 750gb instead of WDC.
5. Dont forget Tuniq Tower.
6. Why would you be getting 200+ quid GTX for 20inch monitor ?
7. I would definitelty go for some good bigger case, good case is a must for good PC and you can keep it for future upgrades.

go for the P35-DS3R, not the 'C' version, has less problems

and go for this ram http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-086-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813

2x2b sticks, has room for expansion to 8gb then

 

[Hank_Marvin]

what sort of problems do you mean?

 

[bledd]

not sure in general, but i've never been a fan of motherboards with 2x types of ram slots on them

the only difference between the C and the non C is the DDR3 slots

unless you're set to upgrade the monitor i'd drop the gfx card down to a 8800GT.

would also look into the antec 900 or p182 case.
