Can anyone please help me make my own desktop.

Fallen god ummm if i do change to that would i be able to run everything? I mean the PSU.

E.g. the GPU not blowing up or something heh'

Also if you don't mind can you design a Desktop for me please? Ranging £600-£800.
 
Here what i came up with, it comes with 1tb HDD and the asus 5870 which i think has volt tweak which means you Oc it abit more, if you want to reduce price you can switch the HDD, PSU to your OCZ one and it should be under 800£

Thank you very much Fallen god.

That looks nice but since i am new to this.

I don't know how to overclock.

And the one you made the PCU is not overclocked is it? not sure.

Also what do you mean by, the asus 5870 which i think has volt tweak which means you Oc it abit more.

Did you mean i can OC the GPU? for better performance?
Would i need bigger watts PSU?

The PSU is quite fine, the yeah you can overclock the GPU and with the asus one it also you to increase the volts so you can OC it more than others. Also Overclocking isnt to hard to learn, theres quite a few guides around and there should be a lot of people with the same mobo+CPU, most poeple get to 4ghz without much problems.

The case is massive but is cheap as chips considering what you get, it'll last you for builds to come. I think I'm right in saying the motherboard supports xfire so you could always add another graphics later if you needed it. I don't know about the cheaper psu's but I'd imagine they are adequate.

No it doesn't. I have through checking the spec of both the P55 and H55 1156 boards lists from lowest price going upward, and I'm afraid the cheapest board iwith 16x/8x Crossfire/SLI is Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4...costing nearly £140:

I'm starting to think may be going AMD would be a better option for you, since you can get a 16x/8x Crossfire motherboard at £90, and you can grab a AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz right now at £126.

You have to bare it mind that the Phenom II X4 955 is a Quad-core, while the i3 530 is only a Dual-Core.
