E6600 is only £23 more now.
Some would say the 640mb GTS isn't worth the premium over the 320mb..I'm sort of one of them but I have a 640mb lol
other than that it seems alright.
depends on the resolution about the graphics card, if ur playing 1600x1200 u might want the 640mb but below that res there will be next to no difference to the 320mb

I say go with the E6600 as they've dropped in price again. and stick with the 640mb 8800 if you are going to be gaming at higher res's.
Personally, I would wait for the new CPUs due in the next week or so for £50 and overclock the pants off of it, maybe putting the difference towards a 8800GTX

It will be interesting what these new pentiums can do and whether they will be limited by the 1mb cache.
er, that mobo only has 2 pci slots (it has 2 more pci-x slots) its a bit expensive unless you need that facility imo
also 4gb? do you really need that?
2gb of corsair PC6400 would be enough Id have thought
At the moment, 4GB isn't really needed. However, Overclockers have a very good deal on some CAS3 667Mz G. Skill ram. My G. Skill has been performing very well until now (had it about a year) and is still going strong. They're selling it at ~£115, although you can get some CAS4 800MHz for a little more.
