    If your looking at wireless then look at one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...767618-5778263

    The offer still stands. It took 15 mins to set up and run - no kidding. Works perfectly has all the features you could want. Brilliant setup wizard, clear simple instructions with very good setup/help section. Highly recommended.

    Yes i would drop the graphics card (power usage, gimmicky design imho) and the PSU (price too low to be sure on component quality / testing) but other then that you are good to go.

    My suggestion would be an x800/GT or a 6600/gt graphics card and a enermax/tagan 500 watt+ PSU. Simpy because when your children start playing games a new graphics card may well be your best option, so save the money now, and the PSU can be kept if its a nice high wattage across many other upgrades...

    Enjoy your build.

    Thanks for all the advice guys.

    I will do some more research on a Mobo/GC combination and look more carfully at the PSU (as the last thing i want is my new build to go up in a ball of smoke)

    I'm away on hoilday for a couple of weeks now so I will update the thread with new proposed spec's when i return.

    Again many thanks
