dont want to mess this up, as its not for me. im on a budget of around £1000 a tad over it. trying to prove i can do it still (last build was 5 years ago) and that its cheaper and betting quality products going into a custom built PC i checked prices on ebuyer and scan.. but thought to save the £6 i was going to save having products on two sites wasnt really worth it. so im sticking to ebuyer for now. just so you know im not advertising them just thats where i found everything i needed i just need someone to give me the thumbs up to click the buy button. i hope i havent overlooked anything i feel ive checked everything through even if the 260width gfx card will fit in the case heres my spec (item, ebuyer prod number, price) total is £1051 Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor 151477 £211.87 ASUS P6T SE iX58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 161061 £143.73 Asus HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card 161725 £153.71 Sony AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM Internal SATA Black Bare Drive - OEM 164449 16.91 Microsoft Windows 7 Professional - Licence and media - 1 PC - OEM - DVD - 64-bit - English 173784 £106.90 2x Xilence Black 120mm Case Fan - 4pin with 3pin adaptor 151390 £8.91 Corsair 850W TX Series PSU - 140mm Fan - 5 Year Warranty 152604 £99.99 Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM 173804 £56.94 Samsung T220 22" TFT Monitor 1680x1050 20,000:1 2ms VGA/DVI Rose Black 3 Years Warranty 143280 £128.00 Crucial 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10600 Memory 159890 £94.99 Coolermaster Elite 335 Case - No PSU 151368 £29.99 thanks for any help.

Other things are OK. Could be better; if you are willing to spend more.
i made this almost exact same build a month ago - look at the OCZ obsidian kit though, it costs a bit more but its decent stuff. (173976) I went with the antec 300 case too, max airflow and it looks neat. (143854) the motherboard is fine tbh, i have a rock solid 3.8ghz OC atm, just working the courage to do the whole 4ghz. One thing, get a titan fenrir or similar cooler - the stock one is crap. try overclockers.co.uk for the coolers, they have a bigger selection and i believe the fenrir is about 30 quid. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-008-TI
Just a note. This is not going to be overclocked. Dont want to order anything that will be a pain later down the line Is the retail intel heatsink really gonna be a pain? don't really want my airflow going in the wrong way. as theres a blow hole out the side. whats the difference between the p6T SE and P6T normal... weres my extra cash going?
updated build: Please make sure ive got things right cheers i was told on another forum that the ASUS P6T and the P6T SE have no real difference minus the Raid support which I dont need. I dont want any form of overclocking happening at this time. upgrading will be an option later not now. better case as you suggested with the additional fans to fill the gaps. lower psu 650w as suggested on another forum and cheaper gfx card of the same type which also is lower wattage. RAM was tricky as the board doesnt accept 1333 and 1666mhz without overclocking so i went with the compatable option of the 1066... hope you can shed light on this matter.

i have the same motherboard - i use the OCZ obsidian RAM i posted earlier and it worked fine at stock speeds. its only a tenner more than the kingston RAM and has heat spreaders (just in case). Plus it has a lifetime warranty rest of it looks fine.
cool i was temped with the better ram... you know what your doing with overclocking though by the looks of it :S im guessing the stock speeds would be restricted.. without an overclock though one thing im dredding... opening up thos stupid vacum forms packaging :S arrrgh nightmare
get a set of garden shears and wear some kevlar gloves lol. i managed to cut myself opening mine. without the overclock then obviously the RAM will run slower, but it if you ever did decide to open the taps a bit then it would scale well. plus the heatspreaders look cool
if i did first port of call would be a new heatsink... just not yet cheers for the help would this be a decent substitute for the RAM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152637 ?
just thought i would return to say everything work out great. quick and easy build no problems windows 7 is good change from vista but no inbuilt mail was worrying. thunderbird was my choice.
