That seems expensive mate... but for what you want to do with it - it's more than enough. I found a similar PC but with i7 Core processor for roughly the same price from these guys: CoolerMaster 430 Extreme CM430i7 link removed by KenB I'll be ordering a pink phantom from those guys soon. Building yourself can sometimes be cheaper - my current PC is self build and cost £600 odd a couple years ago - only problem is if hardware goes faulty you have to do all the running around yourself vs buying a premade PC. Just a thought as when my Graphics card died It took almost 2 months getting a replacement under warranty from Nvidia. anyway that's my 2 pence. Good luck and do let us know how your experience goes.

Any PCI-E card will do Hi There mate, There are tons of cards so i understand it can be confusing - so you need to figure out how much you want to spend firstly and if you want to play games on all the highest settings. Nvidia have been around a long time and I used to use them all the time - the last couple years ATI or now AMD have taken over in terms of performance for price. Take a look at this mid-range card that will play just about any game and run CS5 etc: XFX HD 6790 1GB DDR5 I'm going to be getting a custom built PC soon from the same guys - I've got my eye on this pink one as my GF and I are moving in and I dont want her on mine all the time hehe: link removed by KenB Let me know what you plan to use it for so I can recommend a couple of good ones -Jason
