6600GT, you are better off with a x800 card not alot more money but alot more card. Right size of cpu wrong core you want a venice core. The ram is good just bought it myself and it runs great. The monitor could be better though if you shop around you can get really good monitors for good prices. Samsung are good, everyone uses there panels anyway so they are obviously cheaper my 8ms 19inch samsung was 211 pounds and i got a free game(splinter cell) the stand could be better but its a cracking monitor. You dont need thermal compund if you buy a PIB cpu, and you might look at the ATI 200 boards you can get them in micro atx and they are really good by all accounts.
