Whats the cheapest quadcore system you can build with 4 gigs of memory?
No monitor/keyboard/mouse just the base system?

edit: The motherboard should also support up to 8Gb of memory

Why do you want quad core? What do you use the system for?

i do 3d work, so a lot of rendering.

Ok, just some people want quad just for the sake of it when they dont really need it, you do so no worries. Are you wanting to play games on PC too? Also what size screen have you got?

erm.. no dont really want it for gaming any cheap graphics card will do but might upgrade the graphics card in the future. Ive got a ****** 17inch screen.

lol both systems look almost identical

^^^^^^

Looks good, is it posible to cut back on the power supply? 60 quid seems a bit too expensive. What about the case+psu combos? They work out cheaper dont they?

Coolermaster Elite 330 Black Case With CM eXtreme Power 460W PSU
