£400 Spec?

[JamesU2005]

Got a screen and hard-drive, could you use my current DVD Burner if it makes a big impact on other components.

I hear its worth waiting for the 8800/8600 which I believe will be around the £180 mark?

Plus I'm willing to overclock.

Cheers guys.

Hope i didn't forget anything. This excludes the PSU cause the one i was going to choose is out of stock, but it will be an extra ~£70 on top of the total (Corsair HX 520w):

This is also missing the graphics card because the 8600GTS is coming out and the prices may drop on the 8800's.

What do you want to use the computer for mainly? £400 is quite a tight budget, if you think that 2gb Ram is likely to be around £100, the CPU (if Core2Duo) is around £110, motherboards start at around £50 and the graphics card you want is around £180 (assuming the price is right) plus case and PSU. This system is around £450, you could reduce it to around £400 by only getting 1gb of Ram.
