(Shipping is actually free)

NOTE: I have £25 rebate on that motherboard so i thought it is easily the best for £125
RAM is chosen, bought on deal a few weeks ago.
Plus , KB and Mouse already chosen, those are only place holders in the budget here.

Prices will be a little lower as i will shop around, but this is good guidance.

With the money saved you could get a 2TB HDD, or a 680

Looks pretty sweet though. Personally I'd prefer a good air cooler:

but the H100 is very nice :)

Need HDMI input really, because of ps3/xbox360 usage as well.
