The ram is epic 1337, the HDD will be fine, maybe put it to 350.. the cpu is corsair, the options are like: Corsair XMS2 or Corsair Dominator series, so yeah they will be good quality. Do you think I should cut some of the other stuff down and get like a GTX280?Originally Posted by Phantom

That looks much better, if you're happy you won't use up your HDD. A GTX280 would be massive overkill on a 19", if anything you could possibly downgrade to a 4850 and still get very good performance and save £70. A 450W PSU won't handle a GTX280 anyway.
I noticed that Vista no longer says 64-bit, make sure you get it or you'll have just over 3GB of RAM (with the GTX260) with 4GB in your machine (like me heh, need to upgrade but costs monies).

Trust us when we say 8GB of ram is a complete waste, get another HDD and not a maxtor 320gb which I presume it is.
get two 250gb's (seagate barracuda's or samsung F1's) and run them in raid 0 (striped) you will see a FAR FAR greater loading/boot time bonus and general response of your system.
How much are you paying for the E8400?
Ive just notied thats a build thing from a online ordering system isn't it.
I can guarantee you we can beat that price and we still include a 1 year warranty and after that free manufacturers warranty assistance.
:S urr what can you offer for the price of £850 below
We can do you a computer thats ALOT better for that price (ive jsut priced 1 up :P)

Raid 0 that shizzle and that is yummy
If you get it it'll be the first computer ive ever seen with a Blu Ray drive =] -
Oh and also free of charge we can put any prgrams you want on it, such as Steam, Warcraft, AVG, Open Office etc.
Also if you did go ahead on order this we could have this delevered within 3 working days of payment rather than 9 - 13.

Sorry Ive just noticed your getting a screen as well.
Heres an appropriate re-spec...
Vista Home Premium
19" Widescreen with DVI and HDCP @ 1440x900
22x DVD RW
500GB Hard Drive
750W PSU
Crossfire Ready motherboard with dual Gigabit lan and teaming support
E8500 dual core @ 3.19Ghz
4870 1GB GDDR5
4GB DDR3 @ 1066MHZ
Mid Range Gaming case with side window, dual fans and lights
£875 - The difference is a slightly cheaper motherboard, smaller hard disk, and removal of Blu Ray drive, but addition of a decent 19" screen.
I decided to do this as in its current state you will get the same performance out of this as the other machine, however it will be less future proof as the max ddr3 ram in this board is 4Gb, you will not have as much hard drive space, and you will not be able to play Blu ray movies, or read future blu ray disks.
As it stands this makes this system slightly more expensive than your original quote, but it is a LOT more powerful, with a current market leading graphics graphics card, new technology memory, much more disk space, and a slightly faster processor, and crossfire support and pci-e 2.0 slots for future upgradability.
If you want a cheaper motherboard without crossfire support you can knock £35 off that price.
