Hi to all, I am looking at having a pc built.What do you think of these specs ? These are the main items i would like advise on.

I would be grateful for any advise
I bought that motherboard for someone not long ago and its a good'n. If your an overclocker it will be cheaper to buy the E6300 because it overclocks to 3ghz quite easily apparently. 2.4ghz shouldnt be any problem even with standard cooling, plus its an extra £100 in your pocket.
man it would be perfect but i have an advice you see people know always go to GeFORCE 7950GT but i always prefer to buy GeFORCE 8600 ultra
Maybe the budget doesn't allow for an 8800-Series card, also right now the 7950GT will be able to play pretty much anything well (if not everything) and seeing as the 8800-Series are DX10 and DX10 isn't used yet it'd be kind of a waste at the minute. Yes it'd be more powerful but might not be totally necessary. Oh and it's an 8800GTX (the GTS is the lower model) not an 8800Ultra.. Wait, you said 8600 Ultra, there is no 8600 out at the minute, please get your information right before posting, you'll confuse people.
