i don't want a quad core CPU at the moment but i might upgrade to it in the near future i also might add another 8800GT card when the price drops down

it all looks good mate ;)

i would suggest getting windows Vista Premium 64 bit for some DX 10 gaming (dual boot with XP)

i would also suggest getting the 2x2Gb of RAM giving you space for the future (doubt you will need it soon tho :p)

yep good idea staying with the cheap dual core sometime in the next 3-5 months 45nm CPU's will be in the main stream at affordable prices and they will walk all over all of the E6*** and Q6***

DVD drive looks fine they dont matter that much really

apart from that looks all good

nice case btw :D

Edit: just thought did you think of getting a WD raptor? (aswell as your Seagate 500GB)

you dont need one but you will want one :p

they will increase your boot time by 30-50% (if OS is installed on it)
faster game load times...
the raptor X looks mint :D
and because you can show of to your geek mates that you have one ;)
