Ditch the E2200. No point forking out money to spend the least on the most vital component



Bought a 6750 on ebay for 80 quid and it hits 3.5 ghz with a freezer 7 stuck over it. Get at least a 6600.



It will bottleneck your 8800gt dramatically. Why the new hard drive?



Don't revert to AMD at the moment, for gaming they can't compete with Core2Duo's and quads.
440 gb huh what are you going to do with that?

lol

sounds great combo thoughBuilding a computer? is it ok?
Your system sounds wicked but I would look into the new AMD quad core. I've heard it surpases the Intel quad core. It is true quad core, versus Intel.
The specs sound great except for one thing; the cpu. I would recommend at least a core 2 duo that is at least 2.6Ghz or higher. The WD HDD is not bad but there are better HDD companies. As for the price, that is great.



Good luck with the rig.Building a computer? is it ok?
you should get a bigger hard drive, there only cheap, i have a terrabite :)
If you from UK. My mate just got a PC built from pcspecialist.co.uk, he had a bit of problem because he used credit but has got it and he is over-the-moon. He opted for 4 Gb but the rest of it the same I think. It is an idea to get the 64bit vista edition if you are running lots of RAM or planning to get more. The power unit you are going for maybe too much but for 拢635 i would be ok with that and you may upgrade which would need the better power supply.

You can always get more RAM, upgrade your CPU to quad and doubleup your graphics card in the future (if need be).

Mate also opted for 22inch widescreen...for games its fantastic he reckons, good for your viewing as you get sucked in from your eyes field of view...and I shouldnt doubt him too much and I nearly got one built from them before him but need to sort out a few things first.

From your desrciption sounds like a pcspecialist PC to me...you wont be disappointed compared to your cuurent system you will be blown away...just dont spend the money unless you have it I would say.
Why not DDR2 6400?
