The system will be used for gaming,, Crysis 2,,,Carrier Command,,Starcraft 2 etc,,,surfing and watching HD movies.
As for budget was looking at around £450 - £500
 
Hey no problem,,,,,I do see your point. I wont be overclocking the system so I see what you mean about the motherboard. I choose 4gb of ram because on my current system I'm using 32 bit Windows 7 and was going to carry on using that. Can you tell me is there a major difference between 32 and 64 bit systems?,,,I know I'm a pleb !!!!! lol
 
I bought it retail,,,I'm planning to reinstall XP that came with the old pc and use that as a media center in the front room,,,,and install Windows 7 on the new pc,,,have been told I may have to ring Microsoft though.
