I have ordered these so far, i already own a - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-028-AK&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1948

CPU wise, i think a 955BE is best value/performance with overclocking headroom
Was just gonna go for 4GB ripjaws 1600mhz ddr3 2x2gb sticks

Taking a random 500GB or so sata drive for os and apps, cant afford ssd :(
and i already own a dvd drive - so this just leaves the problem of graphics card, i am running low on budget here tbh, i think my max budget is about £90 for a card but would rather spend less, i need a card thats pref supports dx11 and can handle DA2/BFBC2/DS2/WOW etc on decent settings, current rig (in signature) rips through them all on max, but i need a system that can handle same games on slightly less detail or so? i was thinkin the 5830 as its on offer? :O would any lesser cards run these games or similar?
 
Hmm im not sure at the moment, i know the 955BE has a decent overhead to overclock with but i dont know how hot it is, my 1055T idles @ 29C under a corsair A50 @ 4.3ghz
 
Yeah that's a good cooler. Stick with that at first and if you wanna push it further then get a better one down the line.

Edit: just realised your making a separate build - I thought you was upgrading:rolleyes:
