i would scrap it all and go for intel tbh, would be cheaper, llight gaming 6400+ black edition, dam, lol

but if you want to keep with amd atleast go down to 5600+ , a 4400+ will play all games nevermind any higher

thanks for that, i guess i kinda got carried away lol
i have just chosen the 5000+ seems much more suited to me lol
as for the HFS as far as i know the black edition dont come with one does it?

Here you go, much more powerful and cheaper:

And i've seen the lg monitor beside the samsung and there is pretty much no difference between the two screens.

All you have to do is figure out what cooler you need and off you go.

Also if it's you're first pc, you'd be better off going for the one I've chosen. It's much easier to work with. The antec 900 also is like a hoover of all the dust in the room and has pretty much no cable management. Although saying that, it is bloody good for temps.

The lian li will be much better.

Edit: bummer, forgot a cd drive, add £20 to that spec

love the spec! thanks for that im gonna have that
but as for the antec case, thats stayin!
thanks a lot guys
