For my screen i'm unsure on what to go for got 3 in mind, there all in the same price range (£160-£205) From reviews the 20" Samsung is pretty good and one of the cheaper ones, but at work we've got DELL TFT screens and the colour on them in so crisp!

Samsung SM941BW 19" Widescreen
Samsung SM204BW 20" Widescreen
Dell E207WFP 20" Widescreen

Other than that for the above is my basic build, well still a bit iffy on the RAM as i'm not sure what to look for. I do aim to keep adding to it, RAID HDD, SLi somewhere down the line (I know i'll need to change PSU for that) and so on. So if anyone can point out if anything is wrong or i could change for the better!

Cool, Thanks for the quick replies! I'll look into them other PSU's, just done a search on Hiper, Haha not good! I'll also check out the Seagate range of HDD too.

Just got my Ordered my Case + PSU today, went for the 'OCZ GameXStream 700w PSU'. Payday friday so depending on what i get paid, should be good since I just did 2 weeks relief at work (roll on the bonus!) I'll be picking up my CPU, HDD & DVD-drive and maybe the OS or RAM. My otherhalf said she would pay for the mobo too, so I might aswell go for the Striker since i'm not paying =p!

Really stuck on what screen to go for though at first i was looking at 19" to keep to the budget, but now I'm swaying more towards 20" mainly because i want better ress than my laptop (1440x900) my main gunners are;

Dell E207WFP 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Samsung SM-205BW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Other than that my budget screen is,

Samsung SM-940BW 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Just thought, we have wireless net so i'll need to pick up a wireless adaptor card? pretty sure the striker doesnt have WiFi on it, is there any specific brand or type? was just looking at the following;
