Looks very nice mate :)

You may want to consider a labelflash dvd writer for about £3 more


Other than that, I wouldn't change anything.

I am still torn between going Nvidia 7800 GTX 256mb and Nforce 4 as it is cheaper, I imagine the performance in games would still be adequate?

The 7800GTX would be adequate, but nowhere near as powerful as the X1900. The X1900 series is in a league of its own at the moment. I'd stick with the above rig.

Well considering youre getting a 20.1" Widescreen LCD i would definitely go for the X1900XT 512MB over any 7800GTX card. Will be much faster & able to handle high res much better. Combined with the X2 Dual Core 4400+ you will have a very nice rig.
With the Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire mobo you can later add a 2nd card if you ever need to. Nice :)

yep as above. a 7800GTX would be adaquate at a resolution of say 1024 or maybe 1280, but with a 20.1" screen, an X1900 is definalty worth it. running at a resolution for that screen will make use of the 512MB of video memory.

Can i recomend you change the HD

Maxtor MaxLine III NCQ 250GB 7V250F0 SATA-II 16MB Cache

£73.97 Including VAT


First of all it's only £ 9.40 extra ;)


But for that you get a 5 year manufacturer warranty and it allso has 16MB Cache

And in my opinion its a far better HD
