Do you want the whole build for £500 or just the motherboard?

Does it have to be M-ATX? It's quite difficult to get a AM3+ board to fit that size which is good enough, they're only 3 on the OCUK website.

Yeah, AMD don't really have AM3 MATX board, that would be for the FM2 socket.

it doesnt have to be matx, just compact and small which is possible i guess for an atx build

The Source 210 is quite a small, sleek case.
Quite simple, but does the job, think it will do the trick IMO.

it seems well build and has a nice design
