firstly, I hope this is the best place for this, as it contains parts from several other sections.

Well because my computer is getting rarther old, i felt it was time i splashed out and upgraded it, I don't have a hudge budget, but i've put some stuff together and would like to know what people think of it, and whether it is good or not. this machine will be used mainly for gaming. I have compiled this from www.ebuyer.com the manufacturer's code and the Description is copied from their website.

i am going to use my current hard drives, monitors, keyboard, mouse etc, how ever i may want a new DVD drive to go with the black case, as the my current one is white, so if someone can reocomend one, i would be pleased.

All this is about my max budget, but with the new processors and gfx cards coming out fairly soon, it should get cheaper.

Please let me know what you think of it, and any changes that i should make to it.
