Thanks again RJC. It's loosely based on the spec you posted for me yesterday and a bit more than the budget of £500.

I'll leave off the cables but can you think of anything else I need for the build ?

Thanks AMG.

I think the cooler comes with paste.

I think it is possible to unlock to 2 cores using the mobo I have chosen. If it works then I will be laughing !

Would the Sapphire 5750 1Gb be better than the XFX 5750 512Mb ?

I have seen the Corsair HX Series 450W PSU for not much more than the Corsair VX 450W. Just wondering which would be the better option if similar price ?

Thanks for all your help guys.

Finally placed my order after spending the past week going over and over the spec.
