Check desktop build

Last response: in Systems

Hello,
can some1 check my desktop build for me. Its my first time and Im worried that the parts wont work together. Ive checked as best I can already and as far as I can tell it looks OK and should perform quite modestly for the price (£900 inc. monitor and OS)
Its for gaming and studio work.
I really appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

Get Sandy bridge, and opt for a 6850/70. Much better gaming and general performance.
