Can someone just confirm that
1.The Mobo and video card will fit inside the case?
2.The CPU, RAM, HDD, DVD and PSU are compatible with my Mobo?

Processor - £100 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150186
Case - £22.50 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128052
mOBO - £65 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149274
RAM - £33 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/98710
HDD - £27 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128704
DVD - £15 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145450
Vista - £86 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/123052
PSU - £41 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124927
Video - nVidia 8800GS/GTX

Also is there much difference between the 8800GTX and the 8800GS as the GS is much cheaper.

This will be GREATLY appreciated.

Your paying a good chunk extra by using ebuyer.. From what ive calculated you could save about $75-$100 USD by using New egg.com. You can save 11 pounds on the CPU alone. I would recommend more ram if I were you depending on what you want it for?
 
You should be all set. I'm only slightly worried about the PSU since there's not much info provided about it. I would like to know the amperage across the rails and how many rails it has as well.

There is a HUGE difference in performance with regards to the video cards. The GTX will provide more power in terms of gaming. The GS will not perform as well. Are you going to be gaming or what will the computer be primarily used for?

Can you advise a better PSU for around the same price then. I dont really want to go over £400 on this build.
I'll go for the GTX then, although i'll be using the PC mainly for internet usage and photoshop i'd quite like to do a bit of occasional gaming.
I'm not including the video card in the £400 by the way.

HDD: 80GB with 2MB Cache is slow. I suggest you go for WD 160GB with 8MB cache @£30

RAM - OCZ 4GB @ £34!!!

Even you want to stick with Consair, get the CL4 timing instead, better overclocking.

PSU - Your PSU spec looks OK to me

However, since your Mobo only support single video only. I don't think you need a 700W PSU. 500W should be enough

I agree with the first 2 statements, but he'll need more than a 500w PSU to handle the GTZ GPU, which requires a minimum of 450w if I'm correct. A 650w PSU would be ok if you're not going to get another GPU, but if the plan is to have 2 video cards in the future, you might as well spend the money now on a good PSU that can handle it.

However, if the mobo only supports a single GPU, then just get a 650w with an amperage of 30 on the 12v rails for that video card. Anything less and you might encounter slow downs, freezes, or even BSOD when a heavy application or game is running and consuming power. That's my 2 cents...

I'd quite like to have 2 GPU's in the future, could i get a mobo that supports it for less than £80?

It does let you have two, but not with your videocard. It supports CrossfireX (which is the ATi version of SLI - Scaleable Link Interface). This allows you to increase your graphics performance by about 70-80%. You would need to get a motherboard that says SLI certified instead of Crossfire.

Oh ok.
I cant afford it.
Hopefully im getting the Q6600 though and the 8800GTX, So i think i'll be fine with that.
Is this Mobo fine then http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149274

EDIT: Thinking about it, To get the same Mobo as you is only an extra £30 so i may do that.
I'd have nearly exactly the same set-up as you :L.
Yours runs well right?
