Approximate £500 PC Build!

The Viper mamba RAM overclocks well actually so that kit should stand a good chance of reaching 2133mhz if pushed a little harder (The 2133Mhz kit hits 2400Mhz). It's heatspreaders arent that tall so you can get heatsinks over them easily enough

Ahhh didnt know that :) Useful info to know though seeing as the 2 nearest have their faults ;)

I'd go with Hono's spec but go for some faster RAM if possible. There is this RAM:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-018-TG&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387
But it is high profile so fitting after market air heatsinks on could be a trouble, CLC's would be fine with it though

Or for slightly more;

Its low profile so no worries with heatsink issues, I have had the 1600 version of that RAM and had nought but problems with it, could just me my RAM / MOBO though :)

Uh oh, Hono will tell you off for this :) spot the mistake.
 
An AMD A10 5800k and motherboard costs about £156

Do you think if you substitute these two for the below you'd see better performance?

MSI HD 7750 2048MB
Intel Pentium G840 2.80GHz
ASRock H61M-GS Intel H61
Total £178
 
Thanks everyone for your terrific advise.

For my budget the AMD A10K CPU definately looks my best bet and i can always add a HD 6670 graphics card to use in Hybrid Crossfire, could anybody give me an idea of what kind of performance boost i would get with that?

I think it's worthwhile going for Patriot Viper 2133 MHz ram and overclocking it upto 2400 MHz as the onboard IGP really gets performance increases with faster ram.

Not really into glossy screen monitors though so would need to spend a bit more on a matte anti reflective screen monitor if they cost more, not sure.
