Im looking to buy and build my 1st computer, i have around £800 this would not include a lcd screen. Im looking to buy pretty much straight away.

Heres what i have so far:

Mobo CPU Mem bundle

GPU

HDD

Case
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-065-AN

What kind of PSU would i be needing for this rig? My mums on about buying a 26" lcd hdtv for where the comp is going so would i get a good res off this tv? Or would i be better buying say a 19/21" lcd screen?

Most probs be going on Vista but not 100% sure yet!

So what do you guys think of this then?

Thanks
 
I'm not sure if you mean you already bought the parts listed or if you've just decided on them. If you haven't purchased yet, I'd suggest getting one of these instead.

They're the same price, but have much better motherboards and lower latency(faster) ram.

Here're two good psus for your setup.

It depends on the tv, if it's standard def, then definitely not. If it's 720p/1080i it might be ok (the pixels will be about twice as large as on a lcd monitor), but still not the greatest for a monitor. 1080p would be best, but tends to be very pricy, and usually required a larger tv than 26." Maybe look into getting a tv/monitor combo like a 24" unit(sorry no specific suggestion).

So what does a 26" lcd have to do with vista again?
 
He was asking if the tv would be good. Then he stated he would probably be getting Vista. They weren't ment to go together.

As for the TV, Just make sure its not a standard definition, which was previously stated.
