New build part list - help pls

[thedjr]

Hi all,

I would like to build a new PC. The is partly just for the fun of it and partly so I can play Oblivion OK (which I believe means something like an average of 30fps or better) - and partly so I can do some simple video editing etc. I don't have an explicit budget, but would like to keep the cost to a minimum subject to the Oblivion constraint rather than go all out for top of the range stuff. I would also like something that should work reliably.

Here is the setup I am looking at - does this look OK? I have keyboard, mouse, soundcard and speakers I can recycle - monitor recommendations welcome.

Thanks a lot

The Oblivion will run quite well on your PC with high settings I guess - this is almost an ideal PC for gaming.
