New build £500ish limit

[Noto]

I have been totally out of the loop so I am in need of an update, patch me gently OcUK folks! Need a gaming rig, requiring PSU and a copy of Win 7 for a good friend.

Also is it worth waiting for the new intel CPUs to come out so i7's will become cheaper?

[Noto]

wow thx Stulid and RJC!

what do you think of waiting for the Intels to come out, apparently in Q1 2011? will it push prices down further allowing him to get a better CPU? i think we're gonna wait till Jan anyways as thats usually a very quiet time for Computer sales? as everyone has spanked tonnes on Xmas. I hope anyways
