Spec looks good. I would suggest looking around for the same components (it will save you) rather than buying it all from the same supplier. If you can't put it together yourself, don't worry its not too difficult, most of it is plug-n-play.

Oh, buy an ATI card. Nvidia suck :p

Ami! Tell him to add Dodger662 on skype so I can chat with him again it's been too long!

I've always used Nvidia, not even heard of ATI before lol and no worries about building it my step-brother used to buy and remake computers for a living I'm also going to ask him about getting the things, see what he thinks of it lol

Well ATI vs nVidia is a personal preference really
And about the monitors, you can plug a console into them, via HDMI, as I'm doing that now myself (1 screen is PC, and the other is my Xbox), and because they have quite a few connectors, you can plug more than 1 thing in (2 HDMI, 1 DVI, and 1 VGA) and easily switch between the two. They also come witha DVI and a VGA cable, and they have built in speakers too, so the Xbox sound comes out the monitor itself, instead of having to hook up a seperate set of speakers. And if you have a sound system, you can use the on-board sound of the motherboard, or get a dedicated sound card, but the quality of on-board sound these days is amazing

last time I checked, ATI's flagship > nvidia's. Miss the old ATI Radeon 9800 PRO times
Anyway, like chifilly said, nowadays its mostly preference unless you're buying the flagship cards.

what are flagship cards

If that's PCS, they do up to 240GB SSD's

He did say 120 minimum
Not sure what make/whatever would be good tho so any help in that would be apreciated. All I know from him is "as long as its sata-2 minimum you should be ok. maybe ones from ocz or kingston any brand names really"

but with my knowledge that doesn't help me too much since a quick google and I find about 20 different OCZ's!

Huh? I was saying PCSpecialist do up to 240GB SSD's, and by the looks of it the above specs were from them, but you said they only do 20GB SSD's.
But I would recommend Kingston, because they're good with memory, but the only problem is they're expensive. Intel is a good choice (and are also available from PCS), but Western Digital are good too (not available from PCS, they only do Western Digital mechanical hard drives)
