Hi,

Well this is a system I was thinking of building, it's around £860 and I was wondering if it was possible to save some money, preferably £60-100 if possible. The system would be used for a bit of gaming, Internet, photo editing, Web designing... a bit of everything really. I need basically everything (it's from scratch):

Thanks a lot for any help!
 
Thanks, I took Pilky01's advice and got the 450w version (that's the VX, right?) and I'll have a look at the 8800GT; is that around the same performance as the 9800GT? Also I won't need more than 320GB probably, so I'd settle for less space if it's faster.

Thanks.

So could anyone suggest an alternative monitor perhaps, or graphics card (doesn't look like OcUK stock the 8800GTs anymore)?

Cheers.
