You need to lose the last two competitor links.

i3 2120 (200mhz faster) £1 more - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-366-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1671

Decided to save you the time and hassle, just buy this lot.

• Better case.
• Ample PSU power, you cant SLI anyways.
• Z68 board is more future proof if you ever add a "K" CPU so you can overclock.

Did you need speakers?

do you have(or know some one has spare) any old sata hard disks as the £110 is really eating up your budget, if you don't better to cut it down to the 500gb version for £85 and use the money saved on getting the gigabyte z68ap-d3 then in the future to an unlocked sandybridge/ivybridge cpu.

you have no need for 750w psu drop it down to something like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-007-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

you've chosen a dvd-rom not dvd-rw, are you not planning on burning dvds? dvdrw are only a little more http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-075-PO&groupid=701&catid=10&subcat=951

edit: damn you stulid

Thank you very much for your advice and for making a set-up. I'm going to go with it. I've looked up and it looks very good and comes under budget.
I don't have speakers but I do have a headset so I'll hang on till next payday and invest then I think.

I might think about overclocking in time, also upgrading RAM but for now I think this rig will do just fine.

Thank you (and thanks to the advice given by others but just not quick enough lol)
