I'm building a new system as my mobo died. I'm using my current case, a Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case.

I'm not really looking to change any of my build, just a check over...
But if you feel I should change anything, my total max budget is £760.00p Inc VAT & DPD Next Day Parcel Before 12 delivery.

A much better/faster system.

The motherboard comes with a free heatsink and you wont need any thermal paste as it comes with a little tube of the stuff.
 
Ok, I've updated my build, anything I've missed? I can go up to £770 Inc VAT & Next day delivery by 10am.

You want a P67/Z68 chipset motherboard to make best use of the 2500K CPU.

You have a silly little monitor with a overpriced GPU.

The spec I did above is better.

A decent SLI/Crossfire motherboard and again as above it still cmes with a free heatsink.

A overclocked MSI 6870, much faster for the same speed.
 
Yes, stulid's build is a lot better (no surprises there ;) ) for the same price. You cannot overclock on a P61 (didn't even though hey existed!) and so if you really wanted that board, go for the 2500K would be completely pointless.

Only thing is I didn't see if that board had a IDE socket as I was going to use my current DVD drive, and TBH, I don't really plan on overclocking the CPU.
 
Well you could save the postage costs by using the free delivery option.

That would make stulid's build £760.

You've only got to find £15 for a DVD drive then.
