Better but if your pushing budget I'd drop a X1800XT in

GX-044-CO Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-044-CO)
£184.95 £184.95

Cheaper and faster.

Also

MY-005-GL GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (GE1GB3200BHDC) (MY-005-GL)
£48.95 £48.95

Cheaper and very good Ram ( far better than the 'value' tag suggests ).

I'd also get a NEC lightscribe ( 4551 I think ) DVD-RW.
 
For a similar price you can get the Tagan 480w PSU which i could definately reccomend, absolutely silent and excellent stability.

Need a case with it tho which is around another £30.
 
switched the ram to geil value as suggested.

gonna stick wi the 7900gt.

my first build which, if it all arrives on wed/thurs i will be swearing at for some hours on friday.

wish me luck.

btw it has taken me nearly a fortnight solid of speccing the thing. it had better be worth it.

Good clocking motherboard, not as good as the DFI but very clockable, Dual Core CPU, etc etc
 
is going with a SLi board ( on bout sixty five notes ) and a 78/900 gt now not more future proof tho since i can SLi if i need to whereas with the ati 256 setup i can't crossfire?

whatever im gonna order when i find my card.

cheers for all the hints/tips and etc.

will keep ya posted on the build.
 
Looking at similar specs myself for a 2nd pc, be interesting to see what overclocks your getting if you are overclocking that is.
 
Nice rig you've ordered there. Give yourself time and dont rush. If you have any quiestions just ask! Good luck.

Wouldn't say SLI is really future proofing unless you expect to go to massive 30+ inch monitors etc. 19" monitors will be handled by a X1800, X1900, 7900GT, 7900GTX for a good time to come. You'll most likely want to upgrade the card to take advantage of, for example, DX10, before you need to upgrade due to poor frame rates.
