Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB UDMA100
Antec Sonata UK 380W PSU ATX
Plextor 16xDVD 48xCD Int IDE Retail
XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB PCI-E 2xDVI-I VO

why not a seagate 7200.8?

otherwise it looks good

Realised I missed off the RAM, just 512mb of Crucial stuff.
Thanks for the input, cant see any 7200.8's that are in the same price range, the cheapest one is a 250gb thats another £35, is there much in it performance wise?
Also is that case ok cause my friend reckons it wont be cool enough or enough power??

If that's the leadtek 6600GT TDH then that's a great card based on the 6600 chipset. From reading around these forums and Anand giving it the gold medal it should be great.
I just ordered one myself!
