Nice spec mate! although i dont need a case just the components.

Thanks a lot i think i will use that spec, would i be able to afford 2gb of ram without the case in there?

If you remove the case yes get 2Gb of ram,do you need a PSU?

Yeah could do with a psu if it can be included into the budget but if not then i can get it after.

thanks Ben
