Sorry @snips86x That exceeds my budget of around £400. But I will take your motherboard :3

In my eyes competitor = a competitor to OcUK is someone who sells PC Components

Sorry @Hyburnate I didn't know i couldn't mention "competitors" I'm buying most of my parts from Newegg and I thought it was important to referance that.

I don`t believe they do. Plus it would be cheaper to buy in the UK.

Where do you suggest I buy them from?

IProKris5402 · 20 Jul 2013 at 19:12

Also does anyone know if the parts I selected are all working and compatible? That's what I really need to know.

I can`t mention anywhere but here, without getting into trouble.
But I think you will have to make some serious compromises for £400.

What do you mean? Are the parts I selected bad? I know they're slighty over £400 but i still afford that.

You said your budget was £400, the components in your first post will cost more than that.

My max budget is £450 and the main use would be internet browseing and gaming but not so much on gaming if you know what i mean i have an xbox aswell that i use for gaming.

All except the memory.

Ok. Thank you, could you suggest an improvement?

How do you guys 'import' your shopping basket?

Or you could get this mobo and add an i5 at a later date when you feel you need a bit more of a performance increase.

Since i had to change my motherboard to socket 1155 my i5 processer which was 1150 woulden't work with it so could you suggest an i5 processer that i could upgrade my i3 from at a later date that is a socket 1155 to fit my motherboard if you understand that?

You'll need this RAM:

Would that CPU work in that mobo, or would it need a BIOS update? Hmmm

What are you saying? I don't know what a mobo is? Are you saying the processer I have mont work?
