Tempted to buy the above once i sell my current setup for £500 to a lad from work, reckon the above will be good ? i wasnt sure on the motherboard/ram/graphics card/cpu cooler so any replies would be great, if you can think of anything better from the parts i wasnt sure of then please say so, i dont wanna spend more than £950 as this is the absolute max! :D
 
Ok some things aint in stock so im gonna buy these parts now:

GX-047-CO Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3056) (GX-047-CO)
£199.95 £199.95 - as its on This Week Only

and

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - OEM (SC-043-CL) - because i wouldnt mind a new sound card :)

will buy the rest when the E6600 is in stock, might aswell buy the above so i can still use them in my current setup before i sell it!
 
ok ordered them 2 components (graphics + sound), now i have time to decide on the rest so any replies would be great :). i would order the lot but the CPU is out of stock and i kind of want it all to arrive at the same time

anyone have comments on the components i will be ordering? as i said im not sure on the CPU/Motherboard/Memory so if there are better components out there plz say :P, the pc will be used for everything, high res gaming etc and lots of overclocking
 
when i do purchase it i may go for that Swiftech CPU waterblock and watercool it as my current system is watercooled and i may aswell carry on doing so, but i heard good things about that Scythe Ninja cooler
