[whitedog123]

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 1 or 2 weeks budget: 800-890

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Playing big games like Lotro or Age of conan on ultra high quality, surfing net, watching movies

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: i do need cheap keyboard and mouse and a speaker set

PREFERRED WEBSITE: for the place to build my computer for me is computerplanet.co.uk but if theres any other well trusted sites that build cutom computers would be ok

PARTS PREFERENCES: i don't have a part prefence i just want the best i can get for my price range for the case i just want one thats good for cooling and will help my computer from not over heating as well as beign the cheapest it can be.

OVERCLOCKING: if it helps preformance yes all i care about is gettign the maximum preformance for my budget

MONITOR RESOLUTION: i have my own 32inch moniter so i only want a base unit with the keyboard ect

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: i would liek the best and fastest service windows 7 i hear is the best. i dont care to much about the sound but it would be nice. Looks would be nice but not if it affects the price and preformance to much (led lights maybe?)

thanks all

Well you build looks good but its a bit more expensive than what it should be. You can ditch the CPU and motherboard to save money and not lose performance. Get the PII X4 955 and either the MSI GD70 or Gigabyte UD5P instead. They perform the same as what you have selected and much cheaper.

For gaming all you really need is 4GBs of RAM but if you are really big on mulitasking and demanding software like CS4 you should stick with 8GB.

Unless you are using XP hardware/software ditch the OS as well. Home Premium runs great and is also cheaper. I'm using a Microsoft's Comfort Curve 2000 with bundled mouse and have no complaints. Its $20 on Newegg.
