Hi lads, basically had a bit of trouble with an old machine.

Due to the motherboard failing I've decided to invest in a more recent motherboard which means I'll also need to replace the oldest parts in the machine (DDR 2700 Ram & AMD Athlon X2 4800 LOL), while keeping the OCZ 650w and a Radeon HD5770 and a couple of SATA drives for this new build.

I've come up with this.. but I'd preferably like to spend under 150£ but 175 is probably the top end of my budget. Mainly gonna be using this for gaming / video editing. Any ideas for parts that would be that bit slower but a lot cheaper is preferred.

Interested to see if anyone has any ideas?

Cheers.
 
This looks good for a cheap gaming build :)
Do you need help putting it together, i could perhaps help you put the RAM in if you need me?

Been advised to go the AM3+ motherboard route and get a cheapish dual core to tide me over till bulldozer releases, but not sure I will need any more power than I'll be getting from a phenom.
