Spec needed!!

Hi, unfortunately, my i7 rig from a supplier I have used for the last 10 years has fallen through (slipped to 2010 delivery), so I decided to go it alone and buy from here - after all the advice from here, seems like justice

Some info:
I have about £1100 budget for the rig and monitor. I want a monitor for photo editing and res of 1900x1080. i7 would be preferred. Gcard, I was swaying towards a 4890, but could be persuaded to go for a 5000 series. W7 of course The rig will be used for gaming as well, FSX, COD MW2, rfactor, NFS shift and hopefully Crysis, if it runs quick enough.

I am happy to build myself (it has been ages since I have), but if OC pre built rigs are good quality and save me the effort, then I would be happy for that to be recommended.

Please, desperate to get a rig for next week, spec away!!

I should say thanks all in advance, your help to date has been great.

You don't NEED the H50, unless you overclock, then it's pretty much the best value/performance cooler out there. I put the GTX260 in there because CUDA will help with the performance for photo editing

Very solid spec above, although i might be tempted to go for the 750w corsair for an extra £13 myself.

Thanks for spec. Ordered from OC and hoping for delivery on Thursday. ALso order the Logitech X2300 speakers....seemed to have good reviews.

Thanks again....Lets hope I don't have to post too many "How do I??" type questions ...lol
