Revised my build, I found a bit more cash. ![:)]( ":)")
Budget: ~£600 (~$1200)
Already have:
Case: Antec Dragon
HDDs: Maxtor 300gb IDE + Western Digital 500gb SATA
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 600w
LCD: Samsung SM931BW 19" Widescreen
Drives / Extras: DVD drive, keyboard, mouse, headphones etc.
OS: Dual boot Vista Ultimate 64bit + XP Pro
What I'm getting:
Mobo: No idea... P35 or 680i?? About ~£100 to spare.
CPU: C2D Q6600 G0 Stepping - £188
Gfx: EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB - £212
Mem: GeIL 2GB 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 - £70
CPU Cooler: No idea... ~£20 spare.

All prices from overclockers.co.uk
Total pretty much exactly £600.
What do you think? See any problems? Change anything? Need advice on cooler and mobo.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. They seem to be out of stock on the Scythe Katana 2 though.
How does it compare to these two Zalman? (Exactly the same price as the SK2)
Zalman CNPS7500B-ALCU
Zalman CNPS7000B-CU
They have loads of HSFs at around the same price £15-25 here, bit too much choice.![:ouch:]( ":ouch:")
Also, Gigabyte prices are as follows:
GA_P35_DS3R - £92
GA_P35C_DS3R - £94
GA_P35_DS3P - £100
GA_P35_DS4 - £112
I can probably fit the more expensive ones in if it's worth it. Otherwise I'll just get the GA_P35C_DS3R for £94 I guess?

I told you, GA-P35C-DS3R, that's one of the best boards out there, probably will be until we see the X38 chipset later on.
And if you can't get the Scythe Katana 2, then this one:
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775)
