How good is the CPU cooler you use? sinse personaly i would prefer maybe scyth zinpang sisne it queit ect and good , but what this one like?
 
why get an x48 mobo with an nvidia card? a p45 would be better, and much cheaper

the gtx260 is inferior to the 4870

the 9450 is soon to be replaced by the 9400, the 9550 is going to be the same price as the 9450

that psu is overkill

that is far more expensive than it should be.
 
I'd suggest building it yourself unless you can't for some reason. The chances are good that you will save some money and even if you don't you will get precisely what you want. If you don't have a better specification up by tomorrow and cheaper then I'll try to remember and put up something suitable.

Personally I would always invest in a good, quiet cooler.
Like the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler with a Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 120mm fan.
 
As promised here is a new specification, it will either match or beat what is there but you've got to build it yourself. I think the case is a bit too expensive for what it is so if you wanted to save some cash still that is an obvious place to start but it is up to you.

You can save a bit of cash on that by changing the processor to a Q6600 (that choice isn't a must though). semi-pro waster's build looks nice.
 
i think il change motherboard for intel X38 ddr2 sinse my mate got one and very good stable baord and reveiws show this board to be very good.

also might change ddr2 memory to 1066 corsair probaly. i was thinking of CPU cooler maybe having a 120 extreame or scyth zinpang due to the reveiws it gets being extreamly queit and cool. il post spec l8ter
 
If you're going with a 9450, I would go with pc8500 RAM, the ocz that's advertised at the top of the page is a good price.
 
tbh i think i going to change to e8400 sinse i think getting quad isnt worth while sisne i not going to be using it for CAD or anything,

i would build myself but i NEVER built pc before, and i want it to be good and not crappy, like tbh lots of peoples pcs i seen, with horrible wires, and bad heat issues.

Heres the spec i "would" love to have, if only overclockers, build specs to order..:(

Do i need anything else?

What on Earth does that DVDRW do to justify the price? I'm hoping it makes you a cup of tea at least.

Aside from that it is all compatible as far as I know. Building it yourself is pretty easy, if you can assemble Lego then you can build a PC but just give yourself plenty of time to do so.
 
^^ it easy to say build yourself when you build pcs before, also i seen many pictures on internet and here from DIY builds and i must be honest lots of them look terrible quality, and wiring ect, also lots seem to suffer problems with hardware and software, and only the good DIY pros seem to be able to pull off a good gaming pc home build.

i tryied youtube,but videos have no relation to my build nor any uptodate it would seem at times.

this why i very warry of DIY, and would rather prebuild,also arrenty a very good thing to have
