Hey,

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 3600+

- 20" flat panel Moniter
- 2048MB of RAM*  (they give me the choice to have either four 512MB cards or two 1024MB cards...whcih is better?)
- 320GB (7200RPM) HDD
- Integrated nVidia GeForce 6150 LE graphics
- 16 X DVD +/- RW Drive
- multi-media keyboard and premium mouse
- Creative Inspire T7900 7.1 Speaker System

That is in the Dell C521

RAM £50 (DDR2 800)

Hard drive £55  320GB ATA 2

Tv tuner £30

Optical drive(s)  ~£20 per drive (one DVD RW and one lightscribe)

Standard CPU cooler £15

PSU 400w £13

Mointer to be decided, hoping dual screen ( i will be willing to change Mobo for one with dvi and vgd support if that one does not)

OS vista home premuim £80 OEM

Total £463 (not including monitor(s))

so what would anyone reccomend me change or ect...
