Spec check?

Hi guys, any bad bits to this build that you can see? Contemplating a 24" monitor, does the gfx have enough beef? I don't play too many games, but I might want to with a new build and a few games that are beyond my current rig!

Cheers

looks good on the whole, maybe get better RAM though, eg this stuff

what case?

5850 would be fine for a 24" screen. Should max out virtually all games out there and get decent frame rates. Also they overclock well, up to 5870 sort of speeds.

Thanks guys. Not a serious gamer anymore, just want something that will let me play some games ive missed out on. thought the motherboard could only take 1333mhz ram...but if it can take higher then great.

Cheers
