Hi everyone, and thanks in advance for taking a look. This is the first time in a long time I have put together a spec for a build, so I'd be grateful for anyone who'd like to take a look and comment, as it could save me a lot of time and money later on if I've done anything dumb with this. The only qulification I'd make is that this spec pushes my budget to it's limit, hence the fairly unimpressive amount of ram. It's an easy upgrade so I plan to add more later.

Thanks, blessed squirrel. It's ok, I wasn't going to take any replies as being any kind of official support. I just wondered if any other forum members might have any opinions or suggestions. Thanks for the reminder though.
