he wants to spend around £300 so this is a tad over budget but it will be pretty in that sugo

it must overclock to 3.0 ghz ish and be able to take a decent gpu at a latter date

vista will be the os

any comments welcome

Personally i'd change the mobo to: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-101-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1015

Its a better clocker.

And HDD to a WD AAKS - but thats a personal change.
