From the other thread. The 5850 was too expensive over there. This should be down to around 800 pounds now.

The HDMI port is on the GPU (the 5770). It's alright for gaming, as long as you don't have a monitor with a 1900x resolution.

Couple of changes to it: That RAM is triple channel, which won't run very well on a dual channel board. If you really want more than 4 GB, which isn't necessary, you need to get 8 GB total.

The sound card is completely unnecessary. Onboard audio is good already, unless you're a huge audiophile.

Water cooling isn't worth it. Save your money and get a Coolermaster Hyper 212 CPU cooler if you're going to overclock.

You can probably afford to upgrade to an HD 5850 as the GPU.
