Almost identical to what I have ordered, I cant wait as i have been using a 6 year old PC that is getting to the point where it cant do anything, I would say you have a few years left in that set up.

Looks like it should eat anything you throw at it :)

What are you planning on using it for?

looks a beast, the only thing i'd do is set the ram to 1600mhz in the bios, at 2133mhz some ram can be unstable.

Me too, I'm using a P4 that cost me £60. Just can't find decent AGP graphics cards these days :) First new pc since a Mesh one I bought back in 1999!

Thanks for the advice on the ram too. I'd been reading things about that although is that only while over-clocked? (I hope!)
As for what I'll be using it for, well everything a home pc can be. But no CAD or video editing at present. Might possibly be flight simming too but didn't want to admit that as it's quite a dirty word! :)

Why flight simming 'dirty word' ? Can you run MS FSX ? Your setup should eat it ? I'd be interested in your experiences with FSX.
