So, I'm a DIY computer build virgin. I know enough about most parts to get by but my knowledge on others is very limited.
After a couple of days of switching and swapping and swapping and switching, I've picked out these:

Motherboard: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-392-AS Asus M4A89GTD PRO

Graphics Card: the 2GB model of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-232-SP Sapphire 2GB Toxic 5850 HD

CPU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-253-AM AMD Phenom II 965

Power Supply: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-013-CS 850w Corsair

Case: NZXT Hades

Do you have any suggestions for different parts? They'd need to be in the same price range since I'm almost at my cash limit for all those parts (£800).

Keep in mind I'll be using it for frequent gaming, programming and bit of video/image editing as well as all that other daily jazz.

Edit: Fixed the links ^^

You can drop the PSU to the Antec 650w linked below:

Save some money and go for the 955 cpu and perhaps go for the AMD 6870 GPU.

Much obliged, kind sir. After some short investigations I realized how superior this is to my build. I'll be sure to return to these forums again should I have any more trouble. Many thanks :)
