maybe overbudget depending on the case you pick ,however it is a good pc. you will also need a 64bit OS to make use of all the ram
 
Just remember, do not buy ATI graphics card, it's very unreliable. The guy below you have posted good list of components but he just made a mistake with ATI card... :rolleyes:
 
Oh, right. Is he trying to get the free delivery or something then?

Here's my spec for a £400-500 system.

Any ideas on a tower to fit it all in and is it all available in overclockers?
Just seen the above post. All that will work well together and play the latest games ?

Yeah, the HD4850 is an awesome card for the money.

If you wanted to spend a little more, you could get a better case and PSU, a slightly faster CPU, etc but that'd be nearer to £550.
 
I have the 4850 and it's the best card for your money. I have mines coupled with an e8400 and can max out any game bar crysis (Have to turn down a few settings) so with a 5200 you should manage to play all the latest games (make sure you overclock it though ;)) If you could stretch a bit more I'd go for a better PSU and case, the 430 earth watts is a good PSU but once you start overclocking the CPU and/or graphics card then you might want a bit more power. I've got a 500w supply and it manages to power my system quite easily. So maybe go for a corsair PSU and Antec 300 case.

Can you post a link for this motherboard please Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard Asus P5Q

I've owned both nvidia cards and ati cards, both are fine never given me major problems and I never favour one over the other it all depends how they perform and the price. Saying ati cards are unreliable is just being biased. Just a note the link for theinquirer above may not be 100% true as they are quite biased towards ati, hence why I stoped reading from their site :P
