www.scan.so.uk has lower prices, check there.
I'm not sure you can build a i5 build including monitor, you can build an amd AM3 one

Thanks for that it certainly looks very competative!

I like the idea of upgrading to a 5850 but I'm slightly concerned about noise levels compared to the vapor X 4890.

the 5850 runs cooler then the 4890 and uses less power so noise wouldn be a factor
