Think I have got a 400wt cooler dunno if that good enough for my new PC or not? and I am open to anything so plz share! kinda new to the PC making in ways!

Don't get the Ultra. What size of monitor are you going to be using? If it's large, get the 88 GTX, otherwise the 98GTX should be fine.

How much is that Q9550? Usually the chips in the Extreme line are severely overpriced, with the only benefit being an unlocked multiplier. I'd get 4GB of RAM in dual channel and get Vista 64-bit.

Do you mean a 400watt PSU? If so, that is likely not enough for the GTX.

FYI... that Q9500 isn't under the "Extreme" line.

I'd get the Q9450 for £234. It's only .17Ghz slower (2.83 vs 2.66) than the Q9550 for much less money. You could really easily OC it up to the Q9550 speed, and you just saved yourself £127!

Because you've got a 19" monitor, go for the 9800GTX.

Also, I'd get this PSU.

yea! and any ideas about the motherboard???

I don't have any personal experience with either, but I've heard you should go with the 780 so you aren't forced to get DDR3.
