Spec me PC £1600

Of course but £1600 is daft money if you can afford that why not have a good quality 27" for instance.

4-500 pound on an excellant monitor is imo a better buy than spending loads on extra on for example a motherboard and psu.

To drive that 27" or excellant 24" you want a top end graphics card and between the monitor and graphics card you have a massive chunk of a £1600 budget, you disagree ?

Well a GTX580 such as the above can manage the resolution of a high end 27" screen (2560x1440) in a game such as BF3 with high settings and a good average frame rate, the game has been released and there are a few GPU performance round-ups at various resolutions showing this with a GTX580 1.5GB variant, the 3GB model can only improve things as the resolution gets higher and higher.

Look at,

Techspot

HardOCP

They actually use 2560X1600 in the tests.

what so you suggest going for a cheapo £10/£20 psu that'll go bang at the first sign of load and risk taking a ~£400 graphics card, ~£200 cpu etc?
 
That is exactley my point but by the time you have a 24 or 27" screen and ideally a 3g 580 that 1600 budget is at least halved.

£800 struggles to buy the rest of the OP list but i still think the above are worth having first and worth looking in to the most.
 
no not a "cheapo" psu but you dont need an 850w plus either and the price differances are significant.

a decent quailty 600w is more than enough for a 580 and an overclocked I5.

The dell stulid linked is an excellant monitor and a bargain at £200 but for that budget for me id just want a little more...
