Looks pretty good. I have a couple suggestions. Your Sony drive doesn't come with any burning software, and you'll need it if you don't have any already. Lite-On drives come with Nero.

We generally recommend eVGA video cards over XFX. eVGA has a better reputation.

Make sure your CPU comes with a Heatsink and fan.

The Benq monitor is a solid choice.

Yeah it is retail version so im guessing it should?
Hell the XFX seems a good price and my mate has a XFX 7600 GT XXX edtion and it seems fine

Anyway thanks for the suggestions but is the PSU Fine or should i go for a better one?

XFX are made by ECS/PC Chips. As a result, I wouldn't go for that brand.

I bought the power supply you chose for my main PC about 18 months ago. It has good specs, and is better than the ususal junk ebuyer tend to stock. However, mine bit the dust after 12 months - I got a replacement under warranty. To its credit, it died quietly, without taking components with it - something you can't say for cheapo power supplies.

I've spent quite a bit of time browsing UK based forums, looking at people's experiences with Hiper units. The general consensus seems to be that they are 'ok to good, but not the best'. I'd personally get something like this, if I was building a system for myself right now.
