For £2 more get this CPU:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.50GHz (800FSB) - Retail

Here is my 2min shot:

Dont forget if you buy it for your mate he will get free postage like as above

That HD has only 2mb cache, should be looking at 16 or 32mb

Im aware of that, was just trying to come under budget though .

At least pay 1 quid more and get a 160Gig 8meg cache..

Much better cpu and a better case too. Personally i think the mobo is overpriced but it's the cheapest one on here. Bigger and better hard drive as well. Would'nt touch a Maxtor with a barge pole. I have had too many of them fail on me. Also got a dvdrw drive which is why it's slightly over budget.
