Now some of you might know that I have had problems with my CS recently.. check out my scores.. shocking! so I decided after troubleshooting everything on my current one and coming up to exactly Zero answers thought I'd build me a new one.. waddya think?

Abit AA8 DURAMAX (LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard
Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-5400UL Extreme Low Latency TwinX (2x512MB)
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X850 XT ICEQII TURBO 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)
Intel Pentium 4 640 "LGA775 Prescott" 3.2GHz (800FSB) with HT Technology
Samsung TSH-552B 16 x 16 Dual Layer DVD±RW ReWriter (Black)
Sony DDU1612 DVD-ROM (Black)
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 250GB 6B250SO SATA 16MB Cache
Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent PSU
OcUK Value Floppy Drive - Black
Lian-Li PC-6070B Silent MIDI Tower

Now that lot came to £1200.00 so heres hoping its pretty good and might last me another year...
Before you all say it.. decided not to go SLi as I dont really need it and a PCI-E 850XT HIS ICEQ is a beautiful card and more than I think i'll ever need..
In case you are all wondering everything but the case, which if you have a look is a beautiful sleek brushed black aluminium box.. gorgeous came from OCUK. Case from Aria

Thanks

Swap Pent 4 for AMD 64 and youd get a thumbs up from me :)

question why did you get a "Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent PSU"
when you have went for PCI-E set up??
probly a dumb question but i'd still like an answer

other than that looks like a nice setup

What happened here? there were lots more posts than this earlier?? as I sad before on the other post, have been AMD all my life so far so thought I would see what P4 brings me.. if I dont like it I will go back but if you never try you never know. And did think about it Raydox but dont really need it, and anyhoo ATI will come back with something soon... and SLI motherboards are only available atm with AMD processors, and Jo3 all it means is that there are enough connectors to cope with 2 Gfx cards, dont mean you have to use them most PSU's come with P4 and AMD power sockets but you dont use both :) And anyhoo SLI cards are PCI-E , PCI-E is the system architecture and SLI is the Nvidia graphic architecture.. if that helps :)
