    Looks fairly decent man in fact a little luxury for an office PC you can get cheaper motherboards with integrated graphics so do away with the GeForce 7300.

    Assuming your getting this from OcUK see this Asrock 945G with integrated graphics for £54.

    A few other sites have the 965G board which has the Intel GMAX3000 if better Vista Aero Glass support is important to you.

    What about an e6300, 1gb ram and the mobo 8t8 suggested? Well, thats if you are actually concerned about the amount you spend...

    Ah I see you need a dual link DVI card for the 30" display.

    I do not think the 7300GS has a dual link DVI output so you may need something else, according to Sapphires site their X1300 cards have one dual link DVI + one single link DVI or VGA. Check out this fanless model on Komplett or on OcUK HIS X1300 ICEQ also has a dual link DVI output.
