£800 - what can I get? Help!

Oh wait, I didn't even see Dane's second build, I'm going off on one for no reason! lol Yeah that's the sort of build I was pointing towards :)
 
Amazing guys thanks for all the advice. Am just about to make purchases now. Will update in about half an hour.

PS how do you quote the basket so neatly into your replies? My copy and paste the text looks like crap.

Amazing forum for friendly advice this.
 


I'm going to have some fun with that lot. Thanks again guys for your help.

I'll post up some oc results for the cpu and gpu when I get the chance to play!

Is there any reason why you have chosen a Micro ATX mobo?

Also the Corsair A50 comes with thermal compound I believe. Don't know what it is like.
I would choose MX-4 over Artic Silver 5 if you don't use the supplied compund.

i would suggest something more like this, you can overclock the cpu easily, 8gb ram, 1tb storage. you can always nuy an ssd at a later date, i recommend you get windows 7 too.

+1 to what he said. I had the professional version of vista, moved to the ultimate version of windows 7 and noticed a substantial boost in performance to my computer. Vista is a hog, avoid it!

I'm so glad you mentioned the Micro ATX mobo. Spent so long looking at them I ended up ordering the wrong one. My order hasn't been sent yet so hopefully I'll be able to speak to OCuk before they send me it!

Jeeezus, what a spoon I am. :confused:
