£300 build

[didgemaster]

Hi all

I am trying to put together a £300 build. This is what I have come up with so far. I have intentionally not put in a gfx card as that will be upgraded at a later date and I already have a DVDRW. Anyone suggest improvements?

Thanks

If you're upgrading graphics at a later date I'd be tempted to go with a better power supply.Other than that,looks good to me.

Anyone know which motherboards have had success with the unlocking of the L3 cache on the Athlon II 630 chips?
