That looks solid - and has great overclocking potential - Go for it ! The only thing I can think of is maybe change the HDD to a Samsung Spinpoint or a 7200.10, else its brilliant :)

Looks like a very decent spec to me mate. I was thinking about getting that HD as well, let me know how u get on with it!
 
thanks so you would recommend this over my current HD

Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM

I was just curious about the 16mb cache i had and was my main reason for my original choice of HD, could someone explain the difference in performance that i will notice between the 2?
 
Have you looked to see if ther is any 20" plus widescreen monitor for a little more that the 19" as i think that enables better res.
Offer of the week has one quite well priced ATM iirc.
