jungelbug

what do you mean by 'custom pc gaming shop'? Does that mean you give them the parts and they build it or something?

But as regards the hardware its all good apart from the graphics card...the 8800GTS is out dated and you can get much better ones for the same price! I recommend a 8800GT or if it costs too much get a HD3850!

the gts 320 is old get the gts 512 if you can or the gt 512 is cheeper and almost as good,

those are your graphics cards sorted, and everything else looks good, except i cant work our what your motherboard is, it just says sli??

The 8800GT costs a lot less than a GTX and on average you only loose 6 frames per second in games! Its because the 8800GT was released a long time after the GTX.

averages G92
