nope just stick to home for games. in fact i intend to build almost exactly the same system myself in time for BF3. looking at around £900 but should be a little cheaper by then.

Yeah true. I reckon a system like this will be able to run BF3 on Max. If not very close

Seems like a great system and a great deal. Just a question: what's your monitor's resolution?

The monitor I'm using at the moment won't be used for this system. I'm gonna abandon this crappy machine. With this I might get a HD 19". I don't know the resolution exactly, but it be pretty good.
