Yep this is it so I wanted you all to see it so you can tell me if its all compatable and good and maybe suggest some improvements. Also thank you for those who have helped me pick the items I have for the last week or two as it would have been really hard to do so without your help. The prices are all from ebuyer.com. Please comment or something and all will be respected. oh and i had to take the pound signs out so the numbers in brackets are the price in english pounds. and could somebody also suggest a place (or website) where I could get that graphics card in england. thank you

Total price: 1162 english pounds

Looks good to me. The only thing I would consider adding is an aftermarket cooler for your processor, especially if you plan to overclock at all in the future. ThermalRight Ultra Extreme 120, Xigmatek Dark Knight, and the Prolimatech Megahalems are some of the best for LGA 1366.

so how does every1 think it is?

any1?

Make sure you get a 64 bit OS if your going over 4 gig of RAM. Xp and Vista 32 bit for example only register up to 3.4 gig.

Great setup overall especialy once you get a 5870, you can get one from overclockers tomorrow I think its the powercolor edition.

I wouldn't bother with more expensive'r ram to be honest £30 is too much for an extra frame or two, and the monitor is superb have one my self for my setup, big improvement over my previous 19" 4:3 samsung monitor not just in aspect and size but the contrast and overall quality is a lot better, its one of those products that feel like they should cost alot more.
