As stated in the title, If I could get the price and lower without subbing out too much performance it'd be bloody brilliant as I'm on a extremely tight budget and it'd be optimal if I could get it as close to £300 inc vat as possible.

this is as close to £300 as i can get, you can unlock the x2 to a quad, if it was me id invest that bit more for a 460, and get an aftermarket cooler too.

Thats worth stretching too, as if the i3 2100 can make a Phenom 955BE look slow - http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i3-2120-2100_5.html#sect0

Imagine what it does to a Phenom dual core.
