Based on this ive speced the following :

mobo BARGIN WHY HAS THIS NOT SOLD!

cpu (hidden in b-grade have been selling fast)

The gfx you have speced has gone up in price so your better of spending a few extra quid & getting this

psu If you wish to upgrade in future you will need more power this will cover you no matter what you upgrade.

case great case sadly has gone up £20 in the past few months.

ram same

total £323.08 inc VAT

This setup allows for phenom 2 upgrade & any gfx upgrade u like in future.

If your not planning on upgrading soon though for pure performace you will be better of with

E5200 cpu

mobo

cpu cooler In order to OC the E5200

Th choice is yours
