Hi all, my 1st system that im gonna build myself, after good base components which i will be gradually upgrading. (put it this way, im currently using an Athlon XP 2200+ with 1g ram and a 9800Pro 
Rather Old and slow now 
I will be upgrading the Graphics card when DX10 comes out prob to a NVidia 8800 and likely SLi
or something newer
Budget is about £1300 though could stretch a little bit higher if really needed.
