Well I'm planning on building a new computer in the very near future, mainly for gaming and other demanding things such as HD playback.

As for my budget, the current total is the highest I want to go, but if anyone could show me how to make it cheaper but still be able to perform very well, please do.

I'm not sure about the PSU, not really clued up as to what psu to buy, how much power etc, so if the one I've chose isn't suitable, please say.

If this spec is totally crap, could you just do me a completely new one, aslong as it can play recent games on high settings and playback 720p smoothly, It'll be fine :)

welcome to the forums btw
 
That PSU is insufficient for the rig and it would be a smarter idea to go for a G0 stepping "Energy Efficient" quad. I'll pump out a spec shortly.

EDIT: There we are:

The CPU is better, as is the CPU cooler. The RAM is cheaper and should perform identically. The PSU is sufficient and should be quite good.
