Hey guys

Finally got enough cash saved for my computer that I want :)

My budget is £450. (£150 more than I originally had :p)

I just need the tower, No OS, just the whole base.

It's going to be a gaming machine, running on my 23" 1920x1080 res monitor so I'll need something that can run games as good as possible in this res :D

Looking to purchase next week, so enough time to get peoples opinions and stuff


Thanks in advance!

To transcribe the above links:

Coolermaster 335
Phenom II X4 955
MSI 6870 OC HAWK
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H 760G
OCZ Intel Extreme XMP 4GB (2x2GB)
Cooler Master GX 650W '80 Plus'

All decent, but I'd replace the motherboard with an 880GM-UD2H (more reliable and better build quality), the RAM with Corsair XMS3 (lifetime warranty, far more reliable and better for overclocking), the PSU with a Corsair or XFX model of the same wattage, and I'd stick an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro in there too. Still under the £450 budget.

Not bad at all! Pretty amazing what you can get for £450 these days. To the OP, I know you said you'll buy next week but the gfx card is on offer for today only so consider getting this now if funds allow (esp as you get free shipping).:D
