    Word to the wise. That CPU aint boxed - hence no heatsink (i think)
    I'd double check to make sure - it doesnt say anything in the specs where the most of the 754 CPUs do from Komplett.

    Hope this helps

    why are you going to use PC2700 DDR-DIMM 512MB rather than PC 3200

    you could get pc3200 for around the same price from www.shop4memory.com

    I would go for a 6600GT above the radeon.

    I bought an XFX one off Komplett for 219 euro recently. It's a great card and faster than the 9800 according to all the reviews. You also get X2 the threat, Commandos 3 and some driving game included if that tickles your fancy.

    Worth it for the extra 14 euro.

    you seem to be using Komplett for everything

    I'd suggest you look around and see prices.

    Try crucial.com for the ram could be cheaper or scan.co.uk

    The motherboard and Processor will most likely be cheaper from UK, just check shipping costs
    http://www.rlsupplies.co.uk/

    HD = there was a good place called microdirect.com, but i think their shipping has become expensive, prices are still good, you'll most likely be able to get a 7200Rpm with 8Mb cache here for the same price inc. shipping, you'll have to ring them up most likely though

    I'd suggest a DVD writer if Possible they're cheap and allow you to read CD, DVD and write to CD and DVD all in one unit, Nec3500 is a nice unit, new and cheap

    Mouse and Keyboard - you don't need anything fancy with these, a standard keyboard will be cheap and a serial mouse

    anyway just a few thoughts...

    Yep a 6600gt would be better and 2700 ram is a bit slow even 512mb of it
