Hi,

Does the 3000 need to cover everything - case, keyboard, mouse, MONITOR, plus the obvious (mobo, proccy etc?)

I'll have a look as I am not familiar with ozzy prices...

Edit: Also, what size monitor will you be gaming on? As in what resolution?

With that price you should go with a quad honestly. Your chouice though. By everything, do you mean LCD, mouse, keyboard and the works too?

Get a P35 if not going to use SLI, and get the Logitech X-540s, the remote and matrix mode makes a world of difference.

X-540s aren't expensive, here in the stated they're only about $20 more. Trust me, you want the matrix feature for media files that don't have 5.1 automatically.
