could cater more if you told me if you hand anything like the monitor and if you were going to overclock... etc... do you need an OS or do you already have one?

Cheapish case from somewhere (you can get some cheap ones with quite good airflow if you look carefully), cheap wired keyboard from somewhere, Logitech RX1000 mouse. Wireless is a gimmick for me, I only find it hand on my laptop, but I'm not gonna need it for my desktop PC I always find wired response times and accuracy is better too - but then again I haven't tried many wireless mice/keyboards

Cheers for the comments

No monitor

I'm still in 2 minds about staying with XP or jumping to the WoW factor of vista

Out of curiousity, did you just ignore the budget? The case, while beautiful (as these things get I guess) is over 1/10th of the budget on it's own and it is a very good specification to be sure but still it is way over.

Ok slight re-jig based on your comments and assuming you will keep XP for the moment.

I do prefere the Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming case than the Lian-Li PC V1000 PLUS Aluminium Midi-Tower - Silver and it's cheaper.

Are Lian Li case worth the money compared to the Antec?

spec me a gaming PC to around the £1000 mark

The vaigueness allows for going over budget

I understand completely when it is your own PC, I overspent on my last PC and I'll probably overspend on my next one as well but then my budgets are always very loose and I know not everyone has that luxury.

Craigvarr the Nine Hundred is very good at cooling I believe, I happen to think it looks pretty ugly but as long as you like it then no real reason not to go for it.
