HDD: Weston Digital 1200JS Caviar SE 120gb Sata2/300 x 2
Graphics Card = Saphire Radeon x800 GTO 256 GDDR3 Mb
Processor = AMD Atholon 64bit 3700+ San Diego 1mb cache

If your planning on gaming and overclocking id hold on that little while longer for the DDR2 supporting cores.

the price seems ok for now but i dont know if a system built around the revised cores will be as cheap.

what site are you getting these prices off because im thinking of getting me a 19" tft and £170 is a nice price
