I'm wanting a new PC, I've been looking at this (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Systems/Gladiator+Trident/Gladiator+Trident+Vista+X2+Dual+Core+5600+PC+Syste m+?productId=26794)

I know its cheaper to build your own but I don't have a clue what goes with what, whats good and whats not etc etc

My budget is about £750, after reading a few other threads I put this together

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz (775) £ 132.72
500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA2 16MB £ 63.39
Asus P5B-E Plus Socket 775 £ 86.89
Patriot 2GB PC2-6400 C4 Extreme Performance (2x1GB) £ 64.57
OCZ 600W StealthXStream PSU £ 49.29
MSI GeForce 8800GTS 640MB PCI-E OC edition £ 246.69
Thermaltake Soprano - Silver, Window Side Panel £ 51.64
Zalman CNPS9500-AT Intel LGA775 £ 29.94

like I said I don't know if thats a good list or if its compatible.
I've already got screen, keyboard and mouse.

I just thought the Trident pre-built system would be easier to setup and seems like a good price.

If you can give me some help on what to get I'd be very grateful.

All looks OK - not looked to deeply though.

You could always give Aria's sales number a call and ask them to build your system for you... Maybe cheaper than screwing up the 775 socket (hey - we've all done it once, right?)

Looks good to me and according to Asus' webby it does support 1333fsb (which is cool as i have one and they are cracking mobo's)
