Yeah, that looks like a pretty nice rig there, don't need to change anything really.

Just buy it soon cause IIRC the X1800XT is on special offer this week only...

Ok some things aint in stock so im gonna buy these parts now:

GX-047-CO Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3056) (GX-047-CO)
£199.95 £199.95 - as its on This Week Only

and

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - OEM (SC-043-CL) - because i wouldnt mind a new sound card :)

will buy the rest when the E6600 is in stock, might aswell buy the above so i can still use them in my current setup before i sell it!

nice setup that Core2 chip will overclock nicely

as for gfx i would have went with the Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-044-CO) at 153 incl VAT

well worth it.

when i do purchase it i may go for that Swiftech CPU waterblock and watercool it as my current system is watercooled and i may aswell carry on doing so, but i heard good things about that Scythe Ninja cooler
