Hi Guys, After a tremendous amount of chopping and changing and given that Nvidia have just released the 8800 GT card I think I have a system.

Just getting ready to hit the order button.... but need to check that I have everything (i.e do I need thermal compounds etc or does that come with MB or Proc).

I have a Keyboard and mouse and a Samsung 226bw Monitor.
