    Hey, looking to get a new system. Komplett seems to offer the best bang for buck considering i don't want to build it my self. Opinions on the following setup?
    The PC won't be used for gaming at all, but will be used for music recording/editing and some small scale animation/video production and editing. I've avoided the NorthQ power supply since they seem to have a very bad rep and opted for the faster 6400 RAM. Total comes to 1333 which is a bit over budget but i think i can manage it. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

    Gigabyte Triton 180 Black
    Corsair Powersupply 520W Black, ATX/EPS,
    ABIT IP35-E, P35, Socket-775, ATX,
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
    Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2048MB CL5
    HIS Radeon X1650GT 256MB GDDR3, IceQ,
    Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB SATA2
    NEC DVD±RW burner AD-7170 IDE Black OEM,
    Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2b
    Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000,
    Samsung 22" LCD Syncmaster 225BW TCO03

    Thanks, I realise the case isn't very swanky but i'm not really pushed about aesthetics, just want a decent stable system.
    The faster crucial ram isn't available from the ram options selectable unfortunately.
    Was looking into the monitors some more and could probably shave a few quid off by going for the 22" acer screen instead of the samsung. Good idea?

    I was going to get that one originally but apparently alot of people are saying its a lottory as to whether or not you get an actual samsung screen with it. They were using some cheap screens aswell.

    yea dont listen to that crap at all. I dont know what happened there, but I know a lot of people that have bought it now and think its great. It might have just been one batch. Seriously, its a sexy monitor and looks great and performs well
