£600 Six Core MicroATX Build.

OK. So I need to build a system in a MicroATX case for less than £600. This build with VAT comes to 597. It has to utilise the new AMD Six Core CPU and have a good ATI mid range graphics card. Will this bundle be compatible and will it perform well?

I already have the monitor, keyboard, speakers, mouse and Thermal Compound.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Well, is there a cheaper quad core alternative that surpasses the hexcore in terms of performance? Just seems that for a modest price you can get a six core monster. All the reviews I read on it seem pretty good. Plus, a friend of mine has the 2.8 clocked to 3.6 in his rig. Mind you, that is on a Asus CH IV.

Just gaming and general usage.

Thanks for the input. I always go with AMD on principle reasons (don't ask lol). The above is a revised build. Is there that much of a gap between the 5770 and the 460? What is an ATI equivalent of the 460?
