Hey folks, in South Africa at the moment with the family but in a weeks time im comming back to the uk (). I start my second year at university in september and want a new PC to join me(old PC is staying here in SA with the family).
I have a budget of about £700(£800 at a push), this PC will be used for a bit of heavy gaming and a lot of multi tasking (MSN, music/films, downloading & web, at all times, then DVD encoding/gaming etc now and then). Im hoping to go back to a duel screen setup so within that £700 budget id like a decent widescreen monitor(20+), something in black that would fit, style wise, with http://img.product.pchome.net/00/02/...s75d-27242.jpg, so height adjustable & in black.
Would quad core & an 8800GTS fit into that budget? Im hoping to run vista on it, but if thats pushing the budget a bit XP will be run until christmas.
Many thanks guys.
edit: i really like the look of this monitor, but the price would cut into the budget for the rest of the PC, would i have 2 sacrifice much to afford this?

editx2: id also like to try and include a case which isnt garish, but is something slightly different. Iv been having a look at this: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=584958 but i havent heard much about it. Has anyone had any experience with it/recommend me a case?
