A family friend sent me a link to http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_12858.htm I really wasnt that impressed with it. I think I could build a pc for around 300 which is still much better! he doesnt use it for gaming at all. it's mostly for d/ling movies and ripping dvds and playing...

This and This

Spoke to one of the OC guys on the phone he didnt recommend the Foxconn Blackops says it has a lot of issues and said with my budget to go with a DDR2 set up. All the mid range mobos seem to be out of stock at the mo. Any suggestions?

Hey all need some help, ordered a mobo which was then told it was out of stock got a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.83GHz 12MB-cache processor was wondering whats the best motherboard and ram I can get for £160ish for a gaming pc. Cheers

Argh im in between a rock and a hardplace! the one i linked was recommended cos of how good it is to overclock + iv got the DDR3 ram. I was just so frustrated with a miscellanous error with it not booting that I sent it back. It may just be that the one i got was faulty and a new blackops one...

Well I can most likely return the RAM but the rest of it would be a tad harder. The Asus P5E3 seems very similar to the one I linked. Either way for £100ish I wonder what I can get from OCers
