1k to spend and the need for speed

[watforddude]

Also scrap that 9500GT - it's neither nowt nor summat (or they say where I come from ). It's old technology, and while it's a bit of a step up from entry level, it's not (IMNSHO, of course) enough to warrant the extra £10 - £15 over genuine entry level cards.

I'd recommend that you either get a current generation card @ about the same price (that would the be the Radeon HD5450) OR get a lower spec card cheaper (ATI 3450 / 4350, or NVidia 8400GS / 9400GT / G210). If you might consider occasional gaming on the rig it could be worth spending a bit more on a 9600GT / HD4650 / HD4670, but it doesn't sound like that features in your plans!

The reason for the board and GFX is this:

I need something compatible. Is there anything better on that list than I have selected?

Though actually it seems it's possible with the P6T Deluxe:

Edit: and the P6T SE which is looking like the winner

Also will that PSU be ok to generate the 1.21 gigawatts required?

1.21 gigawatts? That's the output of a couple of large power stations! Where on earth did you get that figure from?

The need for speed and your spending 1k - just get a 'mac FFS.
