Spending too much tbh, go for what Johns posted, tbh spending anything over £900 is too much, it usually hits the wall of 'in 6 months it will be worth £300 less' category..but definitely don't spend any more than that mate.

K

Antec Sonata III w/ 500W psu: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128045 £75.99
A MOTHERBOARD (Check reviews for which chipset is good) about £40
C2D E6550 OEM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142894 £99.99
A cooler of your choice £30
Corsair XMS2 2x2GB RAM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142433 £70
9800 GTX http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143065 £186.81
Samsung 500GB http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130454 £49.99
A dvd rewriter of some description, £20

Will bring you the sunny side of £600, giving you over £400 to invest, save, or whatever, to spend on upgrading it in 2 years time when it might just start to struggle with games. Believe it or not is is possible to spend too much on a processor.

something like that is only worth it if you're trying 1900x1200 screen or something at 4xAA 8xAF....which if you want, sure, splash out £400 on a graphics card for. My 7900GT runs COD 4 1680 x 1050 no AA and trilinear filtering and it looks lovely...and that's a two year old graphics card. You get what you pay for, and £200 will give you adequate performance for _at least_ two years.

I foresee that I'll be spending £100-£150 every two years on graphics cards...and get consistent performance. If you spend £400 now, in two years time you'll have to spend another £400 to get the same performance OR you'll have to wait four years to make it cheaper, in which time your graphics quality will drop from amazing to good. It depends on how much money you've got to spend. And having money in savings is never a bad thing.

8800gtx - 199.99 or a g92 gts for the same price,gts is basically the same card as the 9800gtx but with lower clocks.the 8800gtx will be better at higher resolutions.
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130449

corsair 620hx - 84.31 solid as a rock,loads of ppl have this psu that use sli/crossfire.lots of ppl also make the mistake of using a psu that comes with a case and wonder why their pc runs like crap or blows up...lol
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114941

asus p5k premium - 99.86 or get a dfi if you want to oc the crap outta your cpu like me (got my q6600 to 4gig).afater using an asus for over a year i much prefer my dfi :)
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142854

oem q6600 go - 138.95 quad core that oc's like a bitch while running cool for under 140:)
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131823

2 gig ballistix 1066 - 37.59 get 4gig if your gonna use vista
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... =MY-093-CR

total = 560.70

pick your own case and burner and try find somewhere that has eithet the thermalright ultra 120 or a tuniq tower for your cpu cooler.

or get a case for 100 then get custom water cooling parts 8)
