New Gaming Build

Ok so time for a new computer, so why not a gaming one!

So details are that I live in the UK so my budget is about £800. I already have keyboard, mouse, monitor, so it’s just the base unit to buy. I mainly use www.aria.co.uk for parts, but if there is a better UK site then feel free.

I had a quick look myself and put together a basic list of some components, but to be honest I haven’t kept up to date with the latest gear for a while now.

Could you guys just have a quick look over the list, tell me what’s bad, what should be replaced and if there is a better component that would keep it within the price range.

XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB- £187.94

LG GSA-H62NBAL 18x SATA £19.39

Total £579.91

Ok couple of questions, is that PSU any good? If not which one would you recommend?

Graphics card and ram are the other two priorities, are the ones listed good? Are there better that would still keep it under £800?

Any suggestions/ opinions welcome.

Thanks for any help.
