Does anyone have any feedback on this build for me?
I'm looking to get into pc games and don't know too much about computers in that sense
I'm also looking to use DAW programmes such as cubase 4, and have a separate sound card for that.

thanks for any and all replies

Sorry forgot to mention that this is costing about £750 and i would ideally not like to spend more than that.

Just a small thing - consider one of the 64mb cached drives for a little more

cheers dude, i've updated it and its only £5 more so why the hell not!

Drop back to the X6 1055T and grab a better PSU or slightly better GPU or HD ?

PSU if you ever add anything extra, GPU, heck why not, HD, extra space, what could go wrong
Personal choice though, looks a solid machine and I'd put it quite a bit above Mid-Range

I'd say it's a good high level gaming build, the GTX460 (1gb) can get 30+ frames per second in most games with high graphics settings at 1920x1080 (or 1200 depending on your monitor). Oh and don't forget to add the silver warranty on just in case something fails after 6 months.

cheers for the comments guys, helped me fine-tune and all that.

If you haven't ordered already, I'd definitely follow James' advice to drop CPU down to 1055T and up the PSU to either the standard 600 or Corsair TX650 - the 450W PSU will be maxed out with the GTX 460.
