I have max £1000 to spend (if it's lower great as it will be put towards future upgrades), it's going to be used as a gaming/music/video editing rig.
My thoughts were along the lines of cpu(Q6600?), mobo(do i really need a IP35 pro?), gfx(8800 gtx?) ,500gig harddrive, psu, cooler, mem and a black case.
It needs to be quiet, as far as overclocking goes getting a Q6600 to a stable 3ghz would be good, anything more will be a waste as once the system is set up it will be like that for 2+years barring any problems.
The 8800gtx i'd like added in because i'll buy a new 24" lcd in the next few weeks. i'll use the onboard sound till i can work out what i need as a soundcard.
