Unfortunately I havn't built a new system for a while now and therefore I am a little out of touch with current motherboards / graphics card specs etc.

Basically I am looking @

Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000RPM SATA 16MB Cache - OEM (WD740ADFD) £84.99 (£99.86)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD6400AAKS) £44.99 (£52.86)
XFX GeForce 8800 GTX XXX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PV-T80F-SHD9) £99.99(£117.49)
Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case £89.99 (£105.74)
Zalman ZM1000-HP Heatpipe Cooled 1000W Modular PSU £119.99 (£140.99)

What I need to know is, ideally best Motherboard, CPU etc to go with the above, or would you change any of the above. I was also thinking of 4gb of ram, but again not sure what type etc.

Budget is up to 1k, obviously the above only comes to about £500.. I dont want to go silly on components, but also want something to last a while.

Basically I am totally confused over which chip set Mother board to go for. I only use my computer to play games on, nothing else.

Oh and I already have an unopened copy of Vista Home premium 64bit.

Thanks for the help
