I'd get rid of those links as they are competitors.

Build something from OCUK. You'll get more for your money. Plus the cases there mings.

You can build yourself a monster of a system for £2000

Something like this may do based on your stated requirements. It should offer decent overclocking potential as well.

Good spec as usual semi-pro waster

OP, why do you want the Quad Core? You can save yourself £300 by getting the E6700: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-129-IN, and put that money to good use on things such as a mouse and keyboard to match the rest of your system

 

[legend_of_chaos]

Just thought if i got the quad core it would be more future proof for games,need a good soundcard aswell,also im looking at a new mouse my 2 options are,1-logitech cordless G7 or 2-razer copperfield,i have an old microsoft wired mouse that is about on it's last legs,thanks for your replys guys.

The reason for the quad was so he could match a spec posted above.

Anyway, save £300 on the CPU and get a nice 24" monitor instead.

2GB RAM, 24" Dell, 2 x 7800 GTS.

Also a good theory, but I'd revert to the 8800GTX, change to a Corsair 620W PSU and therefore give him money left over for the mouse and keyboard he needs G7 and G15 hint hint.

I can even get the 24" Dell in:
