Hi, I'm looking to order my new parts very soon and would like some advice please.

*Q6600 Energy E £124
*Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 Intel P45 £84
*OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 £61
Or CZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory Platinum Performance CL5 (5-4-4-18)
*ATI 4850 looks very good but I tempting on the 4870 around £180
*Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler £17
*Iiyama PLE2201W-B1 22" LCD Widescreen Monitor 1680x1050 1000:1 300cd/m2 2ms Black
Windows Vista home 64bit OEM £69

Currently have a Thermaletalke butterfly 480W not sure is this would be sufficent. I'm looking to have a dual montor set up as well. Will be used for gaming and digital art 3d/2d.
 
should be fine, screen wise maybe look at the Samsung SM-223BW 22".

if you're going for the 4870, unless you're current psu is pretty new (ie 1/2 yrs old) i'd get a new one as i've heard they are pretty power hungry.
 
Thanks for the info. The current PSU is about 2yrs old but I'll think I buy anoher just incase. I was thinking about that Samsung model pebble one but the one you just mentioned seems very good and is also cheaper.
 
I'm definitely going for the 4870 card. The 24" is out of my budget but are there any other benefits from the 24" apart from the higer res and screen size? 20" maybe an option to save more money.
