Ok , I know we havnt had a spec me thread in the last 5 seconds, so I thought Id start another! :D

I am going to be doing basically surfing the web and a light bit of gaming.

Also something that interests me is making a hackintosh! :D

I can sort the OS out myself.

The system needs to be overclockable to keep the cost down and make sure I dont have to buy something for a while. Maybe a cpu like the e21/22 series.

Budget is £200-£300, would go a bit more if need be.

Thanks! :D
 
Something like this might do but if you can stretch the budget a bit further then a 9600GT or 8800GT would be much better.
