Use the same coupon as above.

Should come to about 530.

pointless having the 2500k with a h61 mb as you CAN'T overclock.
1600mhz ram is only a few quid more s may as welll get that, kingston hyperx genesis grey 4gb for example is £22, the blu version is £21

I have western digital 750GB hard drive from ocuk which i bought about 3-4 months ago.

i was kinda hoping you would reuse your hard drive with my build, which is why i didnt include one in it

basically what reaper suggested but 6870 instead of the 560ti

i2500k £170
gigabyte z68ap-d3 £85
Kingston hyperx genesis grey 4gb pc3-12800 1600mhz £22
cm slient pro 600w £60
cm elite 430 £40
his 6870 icq x plus £150
liteon dvdrw £16

as already mentioned use the cmdouble code to get £20 off psu

get a CPU cooler in the future so you can overclock the CPU, the intel stock does allow you to oc but 3rd party cooler keeps the CPU cooler.

Ok thanks for help but the build i will be making next year.

well its pointless posting now then, post back closer to the time you plan to buy as prices change and new graphics cards are due out soon.

7xxx series is due out in the next couple of weeks, and prices will shift after new year. If you say you're planing to build at that time you're shooting yourself in the foot if you think buying a month in advance is a good idea, especially with new tech and christmas on the way.
