New PC - Advice needed

[gmantis]

Hi there,

First time in a long while I've built a gaming PC. Can you please critque the below and offer any improvements/advice for a long termish gaming pc? I'm tossing up between getting a GTS and a 20-24" widescreen monitor(Dell most likely) or keeping my 17" LCD for now and going with a GTX.

Any recommendation on vid card brands for the 8800 series?

Thanks in advance

:arrow: Looks good,BFG has a lifetime warranty(more like that now though)XFX is another good one,warranty is always a good measuring stick when making any hardware purchase.

Another excellent 650i overclocking setup.

For 8800gtx, BFG has lifetime warranty + overclockered version. XFX is very factory-overclockered. EVGA would be the best.
