RJCs build looks on the money to me.

Note for future reference Mekon, never skimp on a PSU. They can take an entire PC out if they go bang :p

Lol.. I know this only too well.. I was unfortunate enough to own a Hiper!!!...

PC is for my dad, doesnt do anything to demanding.. hes been used to a single core for 4 years or so, so he wont know what hit him....

Cheaers for other spec Ill have a look, really wanted to keep lid on budget, its easy to start edgin up.. I did start at £200!!

Although, less VAT rise and Del, brings it in bang on buck... :-)

The only thing that would perhaps tip me over is a better cooler... as my dad loves having the heating on, and PC is in a small room.. so may just swap that one for:

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler £20.41...!

surely if it is only for the most basic computing you can forgo the TX3 cpu cooler and just use the one coming with the cpu? save you a tenner?
