Help spec a build for £450 (please :D)

[Awesomeish]

Howdy, a chum of mine is considering building a new PC for around £450, but we've both been 'out of the loop' for a while, so we're not really fully sure what to get!

Could someone please help spec a build for us? We've no preference to AMD/Intel or ATI/Nvidia or whatever, just whatever is best for the price ! We don't need the OS or Monitor included (thankfully). It'll be used for programming (Visual Studio) and some gaming.

Oh yeah, we don't require mouse/keyboard/speakers either. If I miss anything I'll edit

Thanks!

Thanks! I think the monitor is 24" 16:9 widescreen at 1080p. Would there be much of a difference between a Athlon II X4 and a Phenom II X4?

Hm... that is a noticeable difference, but then I suppose at £450 we can't expect the best .

I'd agree with the 5770 too, I've heard lots of good things about it.

Also, I realise we need case fans, would the little £5-10 ones be good enough?
