Overclockers kicks ass.
In december I got:
'Titan Goliath" Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz @ 3.60GHz Quad Core DDR3 System'
along with
'Asus GeForce GTX 260 Glaciator+ 896MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card'
'Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599)'
'Coolermaster Elite 335 Case - Black'
and
'Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500418AS)'
I have absolutely no idea what any of this means, but I can confirm that WoW is a graphically and memory sucking game and I can run 4 versions of it at once with no problems whatsoever. Basically it's more awesome than battered sausages, chips and gravy.
Hope this helped.
ps. that all cost me £900 on overclockers

pps. The "package" deals on overclockers are pretty much always awesome, so you only need to worry about the optional things.
You've picked the right OS there. The main 2 things you need to think about are the HDD and the graphics card. The HDD im sure you can figure out yourself. The graphics card is important so hopefully someone will know shit about that. When I got mine I had help from Rusty and Robbo, both computer know-it-alls.

looks like a sound system Jed ... i haven't looked at the GFX cards for some time but the 465 should do nicely ... i'm not sure if the 470 is worth the small price increase and i'm against buying the top range range card so the 480 would be a no no ... i've been hearing good things about the latest ATI cards ... might be worth reading up on them and comparing a bit ... suggest heading over to www.guru3d.com/ and spend some time there i don't think you can go wrong with the setup you put up there ... and if you don't like it you can send it to me on another note ... i'll see if i can get on vent one of these days ... hot weather ... house sale cancellation ... family matters ... sorting out stuff for the new house ... etc ... anyways excuses aside i'll make it on sooner or later :
