2 x 120gb Maxtor 8mb Cache SATA Hard Drive
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS3 (GE2GB3200BDC)


Does anyone see any problems with this setup at all ?? I'm already stretching over budget with that system. It will be for games but not overly fussed and I won't be overclocking. I want a stable system for music production software such as Cubase. Or will the Geil memory bottleneck the system. Or should I got for an ATi card and a different motherboard ?

Any help be appreciated :)

My budget is £700 tbh

Welcome to the forums. :)
Looks ok except I would go for an x1800xt. Personal preference. Are you likely to go sli?

Unlikely, I like to play games, but am not really an avid fan anymore, they dont keep me interested as much anymore. Although Oblivion has me hooked but it looks like crap on my XP3200 9800 Pro system. Runs speedily along but just looks weak lol.

BTW I have a Iiyama 17" TFT 1280 x 1024 max so wouldnt be able to run games at huge resolutions either.
