Is this Mobo bundle a good deal?

Hi Guys.
I want to upgrade most of the good bits like Mobo, CPU RAM and GPU. I will
upgrade the HD's later though. DVD/CDR drive is fine for now.
I'm so behind the times I'm not too sure whats good and whats not but this
seems to be good enough. What do you think price wise?
As I want to use my old ATA133 HD's for a while I need a Mobo with an ATA
controller and this has it. Not looking for a high spec games machine, its
more for playing back HD video files etc. Just got a ATI HD2600 card but I
got it for the old system so its AGP, I'm now going to get another one in PCI-E I guess. Just go at new PSU and monitor not long ago so cant see any point buying a complete system.

Its the second one down.

Thanks for any advice.

Ordered it anyway. Also got a Asus ATI Radeon EAH2600XT HTDP Silent 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI to go with it.

FWIW OcUK do sell alot of good stuff but 90% of what they sell can be bought cheaper elsewhere.

100% agree. You can save a bundle by shopping around.I always find ebuyer good value. You can also try Scan and Micro Direct. Dabs are also pretty good.
