Get 2 Samsung spinpoint F3 1TBs for backing storage and either an ocz vertex, intel x-25 or a crucial SSD.

I7 920 is £200 and is a beast

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Intel...MB-130W-Retail

P6T Deluxe/regular for £160-£200

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-...-SATA-RAID-ATX

CPU cooler go for Corsair H50 IMO

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Corsa...-2plus-AM3-NEW

Any Dvd drive from a well known brand

Fans that are quiet and with good airflow are the Gentle Typhoon ones

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/120mm...pm-Cooling-Fan

6GB of Triple channel DDR3 is probable best, Get corsair Dominators

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/6GB-%...-CAS-8-DHX-EPP

For the case if you want a door I would say something from Lian-Li probably but I personally would go for the coolermaster ATCS 840

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Coole...-Black-w-o-PSU

And finally the Graphics. I would say go for the 5870/5970 if you can afford but if you want to go intel then the Gtx295 is still the best.

Wasted money on that though^^

hi thanks would scan build that for me

[vincent.m]

i don't think that scan would build it. they just sell, (though they do sell pre-build computers though) it really isnt that hard to build a computer though. i did it without help, just take it slow and don't rush anything. and im sure people here can help you too.

hi i cant build it as i am disabled and only have the use of 1 arm, thats why i would like scan to build it or something very similar

For a pre build system have a look at scan 3XS systems.

ahh right, i think you will get a lot for your money if you are able to build yourself. but i guess buying a prebuilt one from scan (as opposed to pc world) will be good too best of luck. if you was in London was going to offer to help

thats why i thought of scan, i believe there meant to be good, does anyone know if overclockers uk pre build are good

really? i have used them before and they seemed good, it was only components not a pc

[Pob255]

They were good once, but a lot of people have had problems with them over the last few years and many of us where so put off by the experience that we'll not go back.

You should be able to contact Scan to get a custom build and swap the case for one you like
(try asking on the Scan section on this forum )

As to nvidia graphics cards, depends what you want it for and when you want it.
Currently the best for games are the new ati 5xxx series however early next year the new nvidia series graphics cards should be coming out which may put them on top again, what's more this new series *should in theory* be far better for CUDA if that is the reason you're after an nvidia card.
