I would need:

PSU
mobo
graphics card
RAM
CPU
Case

I already have a X-FI card and two hard drives and play on a 19inch monitor.
I could push to £900 but would need a very good reason (for the missus).
Thanks guys.

Looks good. I've renegotiated with the missus and I can push for a £1000 now. Looking for something that will last me until the DX10 cards become widespread and Kentsfield is the only option.
 
You'll want an ATi X1900XT graphics card, or even a X1950... either way they are better than nVidia's 7900 cards. Cheaper too.

I was going to go ATI from the start. Any reason everyone always seem to pick the 256 version over the 512 ram version??

Pictures don't do them justice. But everyone who's got one praises it! Will be my next case (that price is a steal) :D
