Do you plan to overclock? and will you be keeping your old case and power supply?

also if your from the UK scan are good but theres others if you`d like to shop around such as:

RAM:

It was a quick rush :p im sure someone else could do better I would have liked to have thrown in a CPU AMD dual core x2 3800 but would have taken you over budget.
 
it would be nice to beable to overclock and yes i already have a psu i have the 500 watt ultra connect power supply,also would i realy need 2 gb ram would 1gb not be better, and maybe spend a little more on the cpu,ill have a look around on the other sites you gave me and see what i can come up with thanks for quick reply

ok this is what ive come up with let me know what you think i know ive gone other a little but
im sure i could scrape up another 44 pound
 
yeah looks good although id only buy the RAM from overclockers and the rest from scan try to find the best price. Also you could go for the 7800GT graphics card and a AMD 3200+ CPU. Although I like what you`ve chose I would have gotten the dual core also as the 6800GT is a great card and if you do lots of other things dual core will have more overall benifit.
