Gaming box spec?

[Prophet]

I've got an HTPC that's not good enough for games so would like a budget gaming box.

Need:

CPU + Cooling
RAM
Mobo
Graphics Card
HDD
DVD-RW

I've got a Case and a Corsair 620Watt PSU.

Ideally for sub £400 and to be as quiet as possible

Will you be running Vista or XP?

If running XP, drop down to 2GB of RAM.

Prices really do suck atm. Ideally, you should buy a P45 board and overclock the hell out of that E5200 chip.

Thanks for the specs guys

I'd like to buy before Christmas but as Chimerical says, prices suck at the momnet.

I can run either OS. Probably XP as I'm having a few problems with Vista and games.
