BUDGET RANGE: £550-630
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Video editing, gaming, general
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050, 1900x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Want this PC to last atleast 3 years. Would like to do some CPU overclocking and perhaps even crossfire mode in the future. I will be using Windows 7 RC for now.
Currently have in mind:
AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 Black Edition 2.8GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail@£105
OR
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 810 2.6GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail @£117

Sony Optiarc AD-7241S 24x DVD±RW SATA Lightscribe Optical Drive (Black) - OEM @£19

Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775/LGA1366) @£33.50
Grand Total = ~£630 (with p+p)
Any thoughts on compatibility or alternatives would be appreciated, as this is my first build. Also it would be helpful if somebody could point out if everything will fit in the Antec 300 case.
