    Here are the parts from overclockers UK(to fins the parts go to the link and look for the name that's on this list:

    Respawn Recovery Kit (able to restart pc from brand new if need to):
    You only get this with Alienware PC's. The equivalent is an OS Disk

    650 Watt ATX 2.0 Power Supply with Active PFC:
    Akasa Ultra Quiet 650W PowerPlus Active PFC ATX2.0 PSU - Black Nickel (CA-015-AK)

    NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Motherboard:

    4GB DDR2 PC-6400 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 x 1024MB:
    GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL) x2

    I found almost everything on the list, and I changed some things slightly. Like the DVD writer I chose is the fastest in the world, but still only £20, and I couldn't find the exact speakers you were looking for, but I found the model 'above' the ones you were looking for.

    I guess the AMD fans are going to flame me, but why are you going with the X2 5000+? The Core 2 Duo E'6400 is about 2.5x less money, and would beat it.

    To spend that much on hard drives is just (at lost for a different word)... retarded. The Seagates with PRM Technology are only a little bit behind in speed, but the raptors are like 3x the price. Just uneconomical.

    I honestly don't understand the need for 4GB RAM, unless you're running a server (at which point you should be getting an Intel Woodcrest.) It won't serve any better preformance then 2GB (unless you have a C4D document open that is like 3000x3000, and a PSD open that is just as big or more, Counter Strike: Source, and like 3 other big applications.) Plus, quad-channel? You'd be better off with 2x 1GB.

    The 7950x2 is just a dumb buy. There really is no point. There is no games that need it right now, and when you would need such a card to play a game (which will be like 3 years?), then you could just simply upgrade then and save money...

    Don't buy 10,000 rpm if you don't know that you need it, 7,200 is standard

    Um, so if not the X6800, then the E6700 or E6600. Eitherway, they are the same pricerange as the +5000 and rape it.
