    It's not a bad start. I take you have a case to stick your toy's in:D .

    Komplett. Nice choice

    i got the same graphics card and I highly recomend it. although i payed 350 for it a month ago from komplett:mad: . Oh well.

    Not too sure bout that ram though. Not the best.

    Try OCZ budget range as they come with a life time guarantee:D

    i would maybe change your DVD as Benq aren't the greatest of company's .

    NEC are slightly better and will cost you a fiver less as well.

    Maybe change your board as well. I had all sorts of problems with Epox boards. Mainly the North bridge Fan and then consequntially the Nroth Bridge.

    I got http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=313205

    It's a nice Board. the heat Pipe Is cool:D

    Good luck with Your PC. Keep the thread updated as to how it goes.

    uh...... I really like OCZ for make. very nice ram. As for type I would make the DDR3200 your main choice of Ram type as It is generally Better quality make than the rest. Most of the serious gamers i know will allways go for this Ram so i guess it's the right choice.

    Its also worth the few extra quid to get a v.good processor heatsink cause when you out of cash and you get a game that is jerky to play you'll want to overclock the sh1t out of you processor and a good heatsink makes overclocking a lot less risky. I use an older version of this
    http://www.thermaltake.com/product/cooler/retail/cl-p0114/cl-p0114.asp
    and its the business. Trickier to fit than a normal heatsink but worth it!

    Maybe change your board as well. I had all sorts of problems with Epox boards. Mainly the North bridge Fan and then consequntially the Nroth Bridge.

    Epox boards are very good and are making a name for themselves, and they use the same northbridge as most other S939 boards and their NB cooler is above average.

    OCZ Value ram is good, but if you plan on overclocking get some performance ram, like crucial ballistix (only 140 for a gig and the best RMA service)

    When you are getting you're PSU go for something with 2 12volt rails, enermax, seasonic, OCZ and tagan are all great makes

    And there is a AKASA 400watt on komplett for 70 euro which looks alright.

    The 7800gt is great but if you like peace and quiet get a NV silencer

    Freezer 64 pro is a good performance/ price/ noise Cooler

    The 3700 is great and will oc nicely

    There is not much speed difference between IDE and SATA drives, but go for the SATA as its more future proof

    Oh and a Mx510 mouse;)
