XFX GeForce 9800gt Graphics Card 512 GDDR3 (replacing that with XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card)

640gb Western Digital HDD

600w PSU /w 6pin power supply for graphics card

OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler

keyboard and mouse

Grand total: £320.... plus lunch for the guy putting my proccesor and gfx card in. btw i got wolfenstein and fallout 3 goty free with the gfx card!

Well, to be fair I have to say...if you really only paid £137 for that, it is still very reasonble even if it has no CPU and have a poorer motherboard.
What made is the PSU by the way? And Have you bought the CPU already?

To get fallout 3 running at decent rez and frames you actually need a very fast PC my E5200 @ 3.6Ghz and 4870x2 didnt run the game that well atleast not to play it as a fps had to use the tactica interface to aim likes this quad @ 4Ghz tho flys on this

I run en E5200 @ 3.3 ghz with a 5850 at 1080p max settings and easily get constant 60fps+, never dips below 49 at the most demanding of times. Think you need to sort out your computer mate.

It depends on brand and made...nowadays anyone with a little bit of computer knowledge would know to go for the 80+ certified PSU than the cheap unstable generic PSU.
