What's this computer look like?

[Luke]

I've been asked to build a computer for a friend, he wanted a "major" gaming and video editing computer. He's got a HD tv already so no need for that, and he says he's gonna get Antec 900 from his mate.

Anyways, here's the list of components I came up with:
Motherboard: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149274
CPU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139971
RAM: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146049
2 x HDD http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124228 (Running in RAID0 config)
GFX: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160748
Power: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124927

Came to about £510
What you guy's think, will it run decent?

Thanks
Luke

I really would swap out that CPU for quad core. For video editing, Quad Core is supreme.

Hmm, trying to stick around that price area, does this one look ok?

Yeah, that would be perfect. Although it's a lower clockspeed, the two extra cores will make up for that.

Ok, thank you +rep ;]

You need an optical drive as we.. I'm not a fan of Western Digital, but that's my opinion. Other than that it looks fine. Maybe consider a quad core though.

I was thinking about a HDD change, and read above, i changed to quad xd

Also, the PSU you listed only has one PCI-E Power lead. The GTX260 requires two. However, there should be a molex converter included with the card.

I know it may mean swapping some parts like the mobo and shiz but for the same price as that intel you can get a better AMD (I think). Maybe you could get decent cooling and also get the black edition (for ease) and then OC the processor to make it money well spent.

Don't slate, just a thought.

I've never used AMD in my life, so if you can help me with that, then please do
