i would check with www.newegg.com, they have excellent service and usually the lowest prices. Give me a price range and i can look through some stuff for you.

you put ddr2 for the memory, so does that mean you're going to go for higher end am2? Because right now you have an intel chip. Give me some parameters to work with and we'll get your stuff figured out.

Thank you chaps. I live in UK London. So it is probably better for me to use UK based companies to order staff.
I am planning to spend about £900 pounds.
Thank you Roman

i prefer asus motherboard, reliable...
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=244404
viewsonic monitors for that price is not worth getting,
go with some cheaper monitors or, with that money you can get some nicer and reliable brands, i prefer samsung and lg, but its up to you...

i don't know how much you'd like to spend on your computer, but the choice of keyboard and mouse seem little waste (but they are good)
i suggest:
if you need a bluetooth, you can buy an adaptor, or get a logitech 5000 bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo, they are nice,

*(this web site is expencive, if i were you i would look somewhere else")

networkcard depends on what company the router is from, and the sugested one seem little waste,
you can get one with a little antena,

this wireless cards will work just fine...

and 400gb hard drive is unnessary,
but if you have the money to throw away,,,
its is much cheaper to get 2x 200gb s if you need that much space...
i mean get one, and if you need more space, you can always get the second drive,
normally 200gb~300gb would be good enough, unless you video record stuff

i only have 74gbs on my computer and its just fine,(it runs fast[raptor])

other things look good,

well, good video card, perfect choice of memory,

so how much if the total? if you are willing to spend that much money,,, you should wait untill intel cores that will come out soon

or go with socket am2 with amd, witch is nice too...
 
Thank you Charles Lee for you reply.
How much do i want to spend? As little as possible! I was planning to spend about £900 pounds but i can see it could be up to £1300 pounds. I want to make good and reliable machine with less expencise. What monitor could you recommend?
Thank you
Roman
