That would make for a nice set up.

One thing though, you may need more than a 600W PSU to run a 2Gb GPU and 3Gb Quad core. 800W+ is what I'd recommend.
Have a nice day :)

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us...

You should be able to do better than that for a grand, I can't put one together too eaily due to having never used AMD and ATi of recent, but an Intel/nVidia I could cook you up a few ideas, also, Novatech are a good choice, as are Overclockers UK, might wanna check them out for good pricing.

AMD on a thousand pound budget? No, go Intel. It smashes AMD.

I'll put together a real, real nice one for you.

Just give me a few minutes.

This PC absolutely stomps the one you showed. It will run anything at max, no problem, even Crysis.

It all comes to about £1100. Is your budget that stretchable?

I want a 10 thosuand dollar PC.

Though I doubt that PC would actually cost anywhere near that much to build.
