The 1950 GPU is there because I will be upgrading to the next flagship Nvidia when it comes out.

How would this set-up manage with current games?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've updated the specs, does that look good now?
The 1950 I choose doesn't look that bad I thought, 620mhz, 512mb.

"Also your spending all that money and your only getting a X1950 PRo, may i ask why?"

Sorry, when I edited my first post I removed the part that said I am getting the flagship next-gen Nvidia when it comes out. I'm just getting the 1950 Pro to last me until then.

I havn't got 2 CPU fans have I? The Noctua NF-S12 is a case fan (which I have two of) and the NH-U12F is the CPU fan.

I choose Ultimate for the media features. It's not that much more than premium and I think I would find the extra features usefull.

I choose that HDD purely because I've seen it reccomended here a lot. It's meant to be nearly as fast as Raptors.

Aggh I'm mixed up about this.

When David said I need "a fan for that cooler" I put the NH-U12F in (because it's called a CPU fan).

What sort of cooler do I need then?

 

[ben16]

Thanks for the explaination.

What's the best CPU cooler to get that comes with an attached fan?

Also, are the case fans that I choose anygood?
