I now have the money to purchase my new system and will be having a chat to my tech on friday. I have come up with what is below, i allready have a DVD burner,Keyboard,mouse and hard drive.
AMD X2 3800+
ABIT KN8 Ultra
X1800XT 512
BenQ FP71E+ 17" 8ms LCD
Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert TV-tuner
1GBB PC3200 (1GB Stick)
Canon Pixma iP5200a bubble jet printer
Now the only problem i am a little concerned with is will a X1800XT,TV Tuner card and sound card all fit in the motherboard together? I have had a look at pictures of the motherboard and there is basically less then 1cm gaps between each PCI and PCI-e socket.. will this be enought for the X1800XTs heatsink to fit with 2 PCI cards?

I have chosen the X1800XT over the 7800GTX, because i have had great experiances on ATI, and this card is better then a 7800GTX 256mb, the 7800GTX 512 is just out of my price range.
other than that, what do you guys think?
