HD/Mobo/Ram for £150

[mitch212k]

So far I'm thinking ;

640GB WD HD
Asus P5Q
2GB's Black Dragon PC2-8500

any other suggestions?

I don't run vista or a 64 bit os btw. Other specs are below in sig, I'll be selling the DDR3 and the mobo has been RMA'd, the HD is failing as we speak ... nightmare!

I think he wanted a HDD/Mobo/RAM, not CPU/Mobo/Ram

Looks good but i would get the sammy spinpoint f1 instead, basically personal preference though. Oh and get the P5Q Pro not the P5Q

Having looked I will get the P5Q Pro instead, but I think I will stick with the WD hd as it seems to get good reviews and recommendations

that RAM won't even work in that mobo! HDD something like the WD 500GB AAKS

Samsung SpinPoint F1 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD642JJ) £49.99
(£58.74) £49.99
(£58.74)
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400C5 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400 £24.99
(£29.36) £24.99
(£29.36)
Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £64.99
(£76.36) £64.99
(£76.36)
Total (inc shipping) : £174.16

F1 is worth the extra £6 over the WD imho. get a 500gb version if you wan't spare the money.

So PC2-8500 is better for oc'ing my E8400?

Is there really any difference between the F1/WD 640GB HD's?

And the Asus P45 P5Q Pro is the best mobo in that range and will oc well with the given components? Any other mobo's I should look into? Possibly some cheaper P35's such as the P35 DS3L? Or not?

thanks
