Good solid system for you 
- top notch graphics and decent processor. Bit of headroom in the spec if the HDD is a bit small.

thanks, looks good, just been thinking that maybe i should get a tft screen as well (still on a crt here D, can do without the case and the hard drive, what about going for a gigabyte GA-K8N Pro and a geforce 7800GT? or should i go for above and think about tft at a later stage?

I'd extend the budget by £95 - taken drive and case out and added a TFT. Not worth going for the gigabyte and 7800 IMO.

looks great only concern is negative reports on the motherboard anybody else got any opinions? Thanks for all the help
i think most of the negative reports seem to be from more "hardcore" ovcerclockers, still a novice myself and wont be doing much so think ill just take the plunge and order seems like a good spec was just unsure on the mobo but here we go.....

Yep the bulk of complaints seem to come from people trying to raise the voltage a lot. Mild overclocking or overclocking the lower voltage CPU's seem fine.kempythe2nd said:i think most of the negative reports seem to be from more "hardcore" ovcerclockers, still a novice myself and wont be doing much so think ill just take the plunge and order seems like a good spec was just unsure on the mobo but here we go.....
