Any issues, ripoffs regarding this system?

Not too sure about the monitor as it's not my speciality at all. I can probably stretch to an e6400, though availability is lacking somewhat, as I actually planned this system with a more expensive monitor/sound card so this is actually under budget.

apart from that ebuyer are likely to go broke? not that I can see :)
If it is under budget - consider getting something like an x1900 to make the most of the available processing power (as I assume you are going to overclock it?)
I will overclock it but I don't have any experience, (only oc'd gfx card before), so I won't be pushing it to the extremes, which is why I was thinking the e6400 as it seems to have better value at stock speeds.
Good idea about the card as I just checked an article on anandtech and they seem to like the 1900 gt following the price drop which I was not aware of untill now.
If you need an e6400 check out www.coolestpc.co.uk, I got my e6400 today, ordered Tuesday :)
They have e6600 and e6300 too in stock, but the 6400 offered best value for my wallet!
make sure the 1900gt fits in that case.
Why wouldn't it? It's a normal length single slot card :)Quote:

The S3 might not overclock so well, but the e6400 at stock is a fair bit better at stock and I won't be overclocking to extremes anyway.
The air duct on the case is removeable so if it gets in the way I will take it out and maybe get a £5 80mm fan to replace it.
