Ok here's my nearly completed list:
Q6600
ABIT IP35 PRO
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
8800 GT

This is just pushing on my budget at around £500. However, I currently have a 500W PSU, the specs of which can be seen here: http://neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/fspbluestorm500w/2.html
Would this be OK or is a new one advisable? If so, which one do you recommend?

I also don't really know which case or cooling to get. My current case is way too small and I'm looking for a new one. Could you please recommend a decent (but affordable) one as well as cooling?
Thanks.
 
This seems to be pushing the price up quite a bit.
£60 for a new case :(
Could you just give me a list of what would be a cost effective cooling system/case/psu so I can see at what extra im looking to spend?
Thanks
 
Had to wait till today but managed to stretch the budget a bit.
Please bear in mind this is my first build so I would like to make sure I have everything I could possibly need.
List is:
Q6600
ABIT IP35 PRO
8800GT 512MB
Corsair HX 520W
Tuniq Tower 120-LFB CPU Cooler
Geil 2GB pc6400

Akasa case is out of stock so could you recommend another one? I'd prefer one that's black too :p

Will I definitely not need anything else? Thanks for advice.

Got a 120gig IDE in my current PC and a 500gig that I use externally for storage. Think it's worth buying another small one for OS etc on new machine?

Just wondering on the hard drive front as the 120gig is IDE and I wondered if there would be any speed difference between that and getting a newer one?
