Need a PC Spec.

[TomUK]

Hey, i'm looking to get a PC for under £500, the main thing this computer will be used for is games like WoW, CS which i would like the run on relatively high graphics with a smoot FPS rate. When i do get a bit more money i will be upgrading the PC further. Any people willing to give me a spec will be appreciated.

I need:

CPU.
Motherboard.
Graphics Card.
RAM.
PSU.

Bit overbudget but i'd get this. The 975x motherboards are suppose to be the best for a conroe system.

The sticky in the graphics card section advises a 580w PSU for an 1800Xt


Ops didn't include memory... ignore this. I reackon your best bet will be waiting for the X2 processor to drop in value when the conroe chips are released
