New System help please

[gandalf72]

Hi All,

Looking for some help on this spec below, I am not needing an all singing all dancing pc wont be using it for latest games etc. Main use will be normal use / burning disks/ connecting up to tv to watch films / normal use.

1\Was wanting to know what you all thought of the spec below is it a good deal?

2\One thing I would really like to do is be able to have the audio from the film be controlled by the tv volume rather than it come from the pc speaker will this below be able to do that ?

3\ Is there something else that I should get that will enable that to happen?

4\I am thinking that I will get a better graphic card to add in dont really want to spend any more than £100 extra if I can get away with it if I have to buy to enable audio feature as long as it is hdmi connection. Any recomendations based on spec below. £517 inc vat and delivery.

Thanks in advance guys.

Pretty good for the money. Dont know much about the tv audio but if you want a good graphics card for under £100 go for a nvidia 9800gt http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?sear...&go.x=0&go.y=0
