Im looking to get this spec around £860 (inc postage) so basically trying to drop £60. Thanks

whats the 768mb like for overclocking, compared to the 1024mb?

if i drop to the 768 i can get on budget

do what Jony27 says, my only concern is the size of the monitor is ideal for a 1gb GTX460.

how'd you mean?

Drop the motherboard down to this model:

the only thing your losing is Sata 6gb/s and USB 3.

If you are a student in college or university you could get win 7 for 30 pound.

Definitely drop the CPU to a 955 and just up the multi by x1 to make it the same speed as the 965.

The PSU that Stulid suggested would be fine as well.

That should definitely drop the price down by more than 100.

Windows 7 is only an upgrade version, which is no use

Method #2 has worked fine for me the three times I used it!

Thanks for that, that puts me on budget, £40 from windows 7, £10 for 955, and £10 for keyboard

Thanks

EDIT: just realised, £50 from windows 7, £10 from keyboard, allowing me to keep both gpu and cpu
