Finally, I have decided to buy a PC. Can anybody please comment on this build? I have save the quote and about to place the order from www.computerplanet.co.uk. Just need to check if I can add more improvement.

CPU: Intel Core i7 960
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770 - 1 GB - 2xDVI/VGA/HDMI (Asus)
MOBO: Asus Rampage II Extreme (Intel X58)
DDRAM: Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) XMS3 1600MHz - Lifetime Warranty (DDR3)
PSU: Cooler Master 850W Real Power Modular
CASE: Cooler Master 690 V2 Dominator
HDD: 500 GB SATA-II HDD UDMA 300 7200 16MB
Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H50 (Advanced Liquid Cooling)
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Mainly use for work using VMWare or Virtual PC Server, Photoshops, Video Editing and conversion, while playing my daughter's DVDs and blu-rays on a Samsung 40" TV. My main monitor is Benq 24".

Thanks in advance.

Hi LStaunton,

all of these comes £1277.78 initially my budget was £1500 but I need to lower it because my daughter wants a kitchen toy which is £200. I can probably adjust to £1400.

Computerplanet sent me an e-mail and my quote will be save until 22/DEC/2009. Thanks.

By the way The reason why I'm buying a pre-build system because the difference is not that significant compare to building it myself. And if you add the delivery cost for each components it still comes to the almost the same price.
