Hey guys, so I got tired of getting ripped off by places like PC World, and have decided to build my own computer.

I am hoping to have between £400 - £500 soon. (Money is hard to come by when you're a full time student)

Anyway, below is a list of parts I have found for the computer. The computer will be used for video editing and gaming, so I believe the 8GB of RAM is quite useful.

However, I'm not sure if everything will... fit together?

It would be really appreciated if you could help me with this :) Will these parts give me good performance?



Would also like it if you could post cheaper alternatives :)

thanks in advance :D

(I know the case is missing, I already have that sorted, its an antec darkfleet or something like that. I also have Windows 7 and all of that stuff ;D)

It would make things a lot easier if you listed the items rather then us having to look at each link, do you plan on overclocking? Also what games will you be playing?

little over budget due to the prices of the hard disk at the moment but would say its better at least for gaming, do you happen to have an old sata hard disk you can reuse? will save you £90

oh and new graphics cards just around the corner.
