Hi all,

With weeks of research & advise from you guys etc My Budget was £600
and i ended up with this.

Intel i5 760, S1156, Lynnfield Quad Core, 2.8 GHz, 8MB Cache, Retail
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (AC-FREEZER7-PRO-REV2)
Asus P7P55D-E LX Intel P55 Express 1156 Motherboard
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered
768MB Asus NVIDIA GTX 460 TOP Graphics Card (ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/768MD5)
1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3
Sony AD-7261S-0B SATA DVD-RW
Coolermaster Elite 430 Black, With Side Window with Coolermaster Elite 500W PSU (RC-430-KWP500)
120mm Coolermaster Silent Internal Case Fan with Blue LED Quiet 22db - To match the one already included with the case.

Got these Free with it all -
Asetek Fan Speed Controller Kit, 3pin Fan/Fan Controller/Motherboard Kit
45cm Akasa AK-CB053 Premium SATA II Straight Cable Latch Connector

All this for £527.74 Inc VAT Inc Delivery so Got myself £70 left to put towards a new monitor maybe or if the 500Watt PSU inc with the Case aint good enough there's a new PSU sorted can easy get a good one for £70.

Was going for an AMD PII x4 & ATI 5770 until you guys said the Nvidia 460 & Intel i5 was way better for that little extra money

CAN'T WAIT TO BUILD IT ALL

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks for reading

very similar to my build though i'd doing a custom case, why didn't you get a 1gb 460 card if you had £50 left over?
