Hi guys, looking for this new build. I need some advice on whether the components will all work together, what the graphics card will be capable of, whether the PSU is powerful enough and has the right connections, and whether I should also get a front fan for the case (and please advise on 92mm or 120mm). Here's my current components list, must be kept below current price (not including new fan if needed - extra £10-£15).

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
OK, thanks there reddevil. Will be getting all components next week for building. Couldn't find any reviews on the monitor though, so does anyone own one and wouldn't mind sharing their opinion? I also think that I should go for the extra front fan, as the computer will be left on pretty much 24/7. Its only £12.99 extra, so even if I don't need it, it can't hurt. Thanks for any help given/to be offered.
 
I happen to own one (Imagine that :P), and its great. I recieved mine with no dead/stuck pixels and the only thing I can complain about that when I got it it was a bit bright for my liking but thats a really simple change. You made a good choice :D

But as I was looking I noticed the VGA->DVI connector. The graphics card you're ordering should include one in the package.

Also, if you have the extra bit of cash and are gaming, go up to an 8800GS/9600GT/8800GT. The 8600 series was a real let down.
 
Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm going to be running the card at 1680 x 1050, and I want it to play some games - ones of my choosing - so needs to have a variety.

1) Thanks for the information on the monitor - it helped a bunch.
2) Good news about the graphics card, g25racer
3) Unfortunately, I can't afford the XXX. I'm a bit budgeted on this build.
4) So you'd recommend this card.

Thanks for all the help you've already given, and any more that any one can give.

OK, thanks for that. Meanwhile, can I get you to check out a new configuration here. Thanks for all the help you've given on this thread, hope you can do the same on the other.
