Oops, went over. Still a good spec though.
 
I think youll have to push it upto 700/750 if you want 8800 and 2 Gig memory. Even with the very cheapest case, this is £730ish:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C5 800MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400DC)

OcUK GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 NCQ 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (0A32728)

Gigabyte GA_965P_S3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Asus TA-210 Series Midi Tower (Black) - No PSU

NEC AD5170 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Silver) - OEM

Akasa Ultra Quiet 500W Paxpower Active PFC ATX2.2 PSU - Black Nickel

Intel Core 2 DUO E4300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail



And you'd need to overclock that processor to match the 8800 methinks, so an extra £40 for a tuniq tower :)
 
chip amd/intel both duel
2 gig mem
board
8800 bfg 650meg
dvdrw
power supply
budget is 650-70 max.
looks like an amd x2 4200 processor rather than intel.

Your choice but I'd recommend

(a) losing the 8800, or at least postponing the build to the 12th feb when the new 320 MB 8800 GTS comes out at £200ish

(b) Saving some more money.

Otherwise you're in danger of spending £50 less and getting a far inferior machine.

If you go for the S3 instead of the P5N that will save you a tenner. You'll also save about £8-£10 going for the 4300 instead of the 6300.

That spec looks good to me
 
Yep, looks good. I'd go for the Corsair or Seasonic PSUs, and maybe a Samsung SATA DVD writer, but other than that...

Go for a tuniq tower to cool that CPU, or a scythe ninja.
