pc build

Looking just after xmas on building a new pc, have around £1500 to play with although can go a little more if really needed.

reading reviews from this and other sites and forums i've put together a list of components from OCUK and I was just wondering if I could get some comments on if these would be a good system to work together of if I should change anything on the list for an alternative.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

oh also forgot to ask, what 1366 cpu cooler would you suggest and would AS5 compound be best to use on this system? it wont be overclocked i doubt but not sure if the cpu cooler compound would be enough.

Thanks

what about the 775 to 1366 converter and using a 775 fan would that be any good or not advised ?

thanks for your help.

updated the list, could someone please tell me if this would be everything I would need for the system.

thanks in advance

Great! thanks for the advice.

Would the Thermaltake ToughPower 850W Modular Power Supply be any good?

swapped the cpu cooler for the akasa and changed the 1Tb HDD for a 320g samsung and a 500g 2nd drive.

Ok after reading yet more reviews decided to change again to the corsair TX750, was a little put off because its not modular but don't look like to much of a job to just tidy the cables away in the case i've chosen.
