change the HDD to a segate and you've probably got the best value for money high end system

Agree with Glen8

You getting the

Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3056) (GX-047-CO)

Price: £174.95 (£205.57 Including VAT at 17.5%)

No, The Sapphire ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-112-SP).

What Seagate HDD would u say around the same price as the Maxtor?.

Thought a western digital would have been better.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-079-SE)

Price: £52.55 (£61.75 Including VAT at 17.5%)

or

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-078-SE)

Price: £62.95 (£73.97 Including VAT at 17.5%)

both are as fast as the raptors with 8 mb buffers

Graphics card choice is good. I wouldn't get the ones that cost more than that.

No, the new segate drives are top notch and compete easily with raptor speeds

if u dont intened to have ** system permantly oced....
I would recomment the extra strech to go for the 6400.

I just find it hard to digest having a setup the defaults under 2gigs

as about hds I am western digital guy myself, but if you are not going after raptors.. then seagates will serve you well

dont ruleout samsung though, they come with a 3 year warranty.
