What do you primary use your pc for?

I really wish people would say because otherwise, i could spec you a nice fast CPU and a 50 quid graphics card, thats the only reason i ask.
 
CPU = Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Graphics Card = Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI

O/S = Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM - 1Pk

Total : £337.48
 
A 6300/6320 and the cheapest 8800GTS you can find.

Fo gaming, the graphics card is by far the most important thing. Buying a 6600 will probably only get you an extra 400Mhz or so over a 6300 (when both are overclocked). This will make next to no difference in games.

Getting an 8800 instead of an X1950 will give you a much bigger boost in games.

You'll want to look into a decent CPU cooler too. I'd recommend a Thermalright Ultra 120 and a decent 120mm fan.

The above assumes that you can indeed get Vista for free as eracer2006 says.
