Sorry for double posting, but so far this is very cheap for a high-end computer.
What monitor is it, and make sure it is not too expensive. But a reasonable size and good graphics.

apologies, i didnt notice that the board was a DDR3 thankyou for pointing that out!! **slaps wrists**

This sort of pc would cost you well over a grand if you bought it from a brand or store, it just shows how much you save by building yourself. You do need to build it though, so i imagine that would be part of the cost.

Also, do you require a O/S?

As to monitors, it depends what sort of size you want really.

A monitor that will display everything at a good quality. Preferably 19" to 22". I can always grab a better one when I have more money.

I would need an OS, Preferably Windows Vista Home Premium, or any other one that you will recommend.

Also, is it possible to guide me through the process of building it? Over MSN or something.

Guides are not in-depth enough, I would like a guide with picture if possible.

We cannot advise you as to specs if you are building in July. Many things change in two months. Come back then and there will likely be a completely new set of parts that is the best buy. I don't know of any guides, but if you'd like you can add me on MSN then and I can walk you through it.

This guide isn't to bad, might be worth you having a quick read through to see if you understand the basic process?

LOL mctw, he wouldn't even read Carbons recommended parts list, so what makes you think he will read that build guide?

[mctw]

fair point, but at least i can say i tried :-P
