Been tweaking the build variously for a few weeks now and think have come to a solid agreement that this build is as good as i can get for the price budget i have got (im british so prices of electrcial good are often higher than the states).

Budget is Tops £800 which is roughly $1300, But this includes everything i need for it to work which ive seen the forums dont put in e.g. Vista etc

Just wanted to know if there is any improvements for recommendations that could be made ty

I seriously would like to know why you are spending the cash for a mobo with 3 x PCIex16 slots? Unless you are going to run triple SLI it's a waste of money, and I should mention that you can't run SLI with ATI GPUs. Maybe there's a reason for your choice, but you could save abit of money with a cheaper mobo.

IMO you could get a case which looks pretty identical to that for half the price too

id also go for a branded PSU

Your PSU is ok, they are a reputable brand, I did just notice that it is out of stock though - perhaps you could get this one:

I would consider this motherboard, esp. with the video card that you have selected. It's a good reliable line of mobos and offers a fair amount of features. If you aren't going to overclock extensively or want extreme Crossfire performance the 780G chipset is perfect for you and it's a fair bit cheaper than it's newer brother the 790GX etc. Note this mobo DOES have Crossfire capability it will just be approx 5-10% reduced due to the x4 on the second PCIEx16 slot.

I have the exact same PSU as that and I love it. Mine is running a nearly identical system to yours, with the exception that I have a 4850 and it runs it very smoothly. Also it is on sale now for about 15 pounds less.

Does the £800 budget include the £110 monitor? So do you have £800 for the actual computer or £690?


EDIT
Hope this helps, it is from Overclockers (www.overclockers.co.uk).. Can't spec much better I think.
