New computer

Now you mention it he did say it was a quad core graphics card which was top notch. May be not then!

Its okay probably enough to get a sound card an few other things.

Yeah I'll probably get a sound card.. not decided yet   

It depends on were your getting your parts at which you maybe able to save a bit more.

Price seems a bit off to me ... seems a little expensive, depending on the motherboard, PSU and actual graphics card.
Still a good computer though, no disrespect intended or anything.

Hi Calum are you English? Always a little easier to price things up if your from the same country. Would appreciate your advice.

I am English, yes.
For that price, I found a prebuilt system (not typical prebuilt, better quality) with a dual core 2.6GHz, SLI GTS250's, XP Home, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, EVGA 750i SLI FTW motherboard, and OCZ modular 600W PSU.
I know that's not a great match up, but if you take off some of the price as it's prebuilt, drop a graphics card and get a cheaper Intel board, upgrade the case, CPU and HDD, and maybe change the PSU, it'd work out around the same price but (hard to say here as we don't know the full details of the system we're discussing) possibly better components and much better graphics (vs. 9400GT).

Yeah good call. Manchester by the way you? If you were to create a PC what would you use? I'm thinking of going to Micro Direct to see what they can do.

I'm in Derby (check my profile).
I use Overclockers for my supplier, they do a lot of prebuilt systems (which are fully configurable if you call them)and components too.  Customer service is fantastic, I usually go and collect my orders because I'm not too far from them.  40 minute drive = £10 of petrol, vs. at least £5 for delivery and having to wait.
No, I don't work for them, heh.

Anyway, a quick build I just threw together from there:
Q8200 CPU
HD4870 graphics card
EP45-DS3P motherboard
Barracuda 7200.12 1TB HDD
PC P&C 610W PSU
Antec 300 case
OCUK 4GB 800MHz RAM
Pioneer DVDRW drive
XP Home

£636.71 including delivery.

That's easily configurable and upgradeable, or downgradeable.  Changing to Vista Basic would be the same price, Home Premium adds another £15.
There's a 512MB version of that graphics card for a little cheaper which is fine for lower resolution gaming, or if you're not a hardcore gamer you could drop to a 4850, 4830, or 4770 for up to £30 less.  A 9600GSO would be quite a bit cheaper and would be fine for lower end gaming.
For the RAM, you may want to change that for something with a better warranty - this kit is on offer and is pretty good for an extra £8 with a lifetime warranty.

Those are just some examples of how you could change it anyway, you know better than me what you want.

Hope this helps.

I'm a true hardcore Gamer to be fair. Thanks for the advice though much appreciated.
Derby... were almost neighbours.

You're welcome.

Indeed.  I have a friend who lives almost in Manchester actually, and we go through there occasionally on our random travels heh.

Oh ... almost forgot.  You may want to swap the CPU for the Q6700 in fact, it should be a fair bit better for gaming than the Q8200.
