what do u think of this?

I bout a machine recently and assembled it myself, for a friend of mine. It cost a little over GB£1.1k inc VAT and delivery
Athlon 64 3200+ (739-pin)/cheapy board (quite adequete tho, has 4 SATA ports and all the usial Firewire/USB stuff)
512MB 400MHz RAM (2 sticks of 256)
80Gb Maxtor IDE HDD
ATi Radeon x800 PRO
Onboard sound
17" DVI-TFT Monitor (1280x1024)

From that, the monitor was ~250 quid, and the x800 is about 200 quid more expensive than a 9600. You have an Audigy there, which is nice, but whether it's worth the extra cash is really a personal thing

That's the UK for you. Our prices are extortionate.
Hell, my average quality 450W PSU costs as much as a top quality 550W one in hte states
