the Processor is £3 cheaper at Overclockers.

HDD is £2 cheaper at Overclockers. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-255-SE


Buy this memory £15 more more but can easily overclock to 2400 mhz. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-017-SA. APU (CPU with intergreated GPU) work a lot better with higher clocked memory.

you could buy an APU build from overclockers for less than £150(unless prices have changed), that be the MB, CPU and Ram and then use the rest for everything else..

as someone who always tries to do anything money wise on a budget, a bundle is always a good way to go.

Definitely go for 2133MHz RAM. Helps a lot with gaming performance.
