    Your not going to have to worry about playing Warcraft on that machine. You could easily run a few clients at the same time. The only thing i'd be unsure about, is whether or not 500W is enough for that rig.

    Yeah i was wondering that myself. The problem is i dont have that much space to play with money wise and a case and a seperate psu is a fair bit more expensive, unless i missed some cheap stuff.

    It's a really nice machine but if you were to fork out an extra 100quid cash you could get a really nice processor + gfx upgrade just choose the ankerman case when selecting the case the machin will come to 650 euro + posting and it's an insane rig will easily run wow at over 200fps with the highest settings as the gfx card is insane tbh, without being overly priced like hte 260 :D

    I'd have no problem mailing you down a copy of vista 64bit free of charge also :d if it means u get a card ALOT better and a far superior processor that would do u a good 3+ years into the future i'd look into it :D

    Also a screen is a screen unlike a computer it doesn't diminish over time all you need as a decent tft between 2ms and 5ms you could pick up a 19" for next to nothing 2nd hand, or if your're like me get yourself a crt unriveled for gaming :D

    Let me know like i said i'd have no problem sorting you with windows vista


    Edit** Actually looking at the site you're buying off the 9800gtx would only cost you an extra 30quid, well worth it if you ask me, stick to your spec mate but get that card instead of the one you were thinking of.

    500W is plenty for the rig.

    My little brothers are running a similar spec rig off a FSP 350W.
    (core2duo, 8800GT, 1 harddrive etc...)

    500W is MORE than enough.

    The 8800gt and the 9800gt are more or less the same card. The 9800gt is just an 8800gt that had a die shrink. It should use a little less power and push out less heat. The 8800gt you linked to is an overclocked edition though, but you should be able to overclock the 9800gt easily enough yourself.
