I am looking to get a new computer in the coming weeks, and I plan to use it for gaming. I already have a 19" monitor that runs at 1440x900, and I won't be upgrading that just yet (although I might in about a years time). However, I do need some advice on what CPU, Graphics Card, Memory and especially what motherboard to get. My price limit is $1100 (roughly £800 as I am from the UK). I don't know how to overclock, etc, so I probably won't be attempting that.
I have built one up online and have come up with this build - would it be possible to get some advice on the pieces, and let me know if anything needs changing?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Golden Orb II
Chipset: Asus P5QL (Intel P43)
Memory: 4.0GB Corsair DDR2 800mhz XMS2 (2x 2GB)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512mb
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
PSU: 580W Hiper Type-M Silent
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Gamers Case
