I'm new to this type of thing, so if anybody has any tips/suggestions or even if you think you could spec a better rig please feel free to do so, I have a budget of £2000, don't need a Monitor that's going to be a separate purchase from this spec. Going for the Dell Ultrasharp 2405FPW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor Thanks!!!

Thanks Traducer for your input,

I'm still up for anybody that can spec me a better machine or improve my originally spec, as I'm a bit paranoid about screwing this up as it's my first time building a machine, and want best value for money, I'll be ordering soon so any other suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

Also getting seconds thoughts on the Blizzard GFX, I been reading that it takes up 3 slots!! is this going to cause me problems plus its not out until end of April, don't know if I can wait that long, so any suggestions on alternative cards would really help me.

Sorry if I seem to be going on a bit, but need to get this right first time.
