Welcome to the forums, what do you mainly use your PC for? Be realistic though, it will not be a great gaming system for £500. Also do you need software?

 

[ICEMANKIMI]

right on - not much gaming - maybe Grand Prix 4 - buts thats not a GPU hogger.
I have vista ultimate ready - maybe a good GPU for the aero features etc. A card with DX10 maybe? futureproof a little

How's this for you?:

If you needed to get it under budget you could swap the processor to one of the E21XX line, get a cheaper case, or a smaller hard disk.

I would get the cheaper ballstix pc5300 good clocks on it.

You're quite right.

Indeed, thats the second time today I saw you spec the Ballistix PC6400 Tired? Maybe.
