The E6750 is a great processor, dont say what graphics card you have.
I just bought a new Nforce 780i motherboard and 3 new 8800 ultras for just shy of £1700, expensive hobby pc gaming..lol

Wow... that is a lot of money, but if that is your hobby, of course worth it. The information regarding the PC I am buying says this is the graphics card: 256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 2400 XT graphics card. Means nothing to me

not bad for £599, and you save £80 too, together with VAT and delivery included.

Hmmm good spec. Should be good for a few years unless you want the latest games and high end graphics software.
We are forced to buy dell machines (apart from our laptops which are Sony Vaio's ), might be speaking out of turn here but am unipressed with them, they sometimes take ages to arrive, build quality is sometimes questionable and 4 out of 5 units crashed when first booting them into windows Fine after a restarts but still shouldn't have happened. Also seems to ship with an unending load of 'trial and adware'. Their customer support that won awards not long ago is now sadly lacking.
Not saying that you will encounter any of this but do be wary. Dell's are cheap for a reason.

Dell in the IT world normally gets the nickname 'Hell'. Dad tends to buy Fujitsu Siemens machines and they have never given us any trouble.

The reason I chose this machine supplier was for two reasons:
Firstly, I currently have a Dell (which was hit by lighting) and up to that point had worked without any problems at all for 4 yrs. Secondly, the price for what I seem to be getting seemed good and the style of the unit is nice too, quite modern in look. Oh, and thirdly, that 22" screen...can't wait. Not sure where it is going to go though

The new PC is superb. Things are happening much faster compared to the previous computer. Got to figure my way around this Vista yet though.
