If you're going to use the P5VD2-MX you dont need the 7600GS (theres IGP).

However, it doesnt support Conroe and has zero overclocking\tweaking options. It uses an inferior chipset too. Being mATX means it has limited expansion capability also.

Yeah i didnt realise that it had IGP. Is there a better mobo for £100 or less?
