New PC Spec !! Advice plz

Guys and Girls,

Gfx card and sound card on there way out however there still under warranty and i will send both back for credit, but being with out a pc while the gfx card is being returned, no chance.. so ive decided it time for the upgrade again.

Currenretly running::

4800+ AMD dual core cpu, 2gig ram corsair, EVGA 7950GX2, galaxy 1100watt PSU, 2 x 74Gb raptors in raid 0 and 500Gb backup drive.

this is what i was thinking of getting

not into over clocking and not sure if i will. i've always liked to get the best bits of kit at a good deal, im albe to save the VAT - if i put it through work.

This is what ive come up with for about £900.00 excluding VAT.

i would use my power supply and hhd's in the new rig.
