Hi guys,

Trying to build a new rig for my bro, just wants something for £500.

Came up with this -

Any improvements?

Thanks

Is there any particular reason why you are going for the combo motherboard? If not I'd buy the standard P5K, change the CPU for the OEM model, buy an Arctic Freezer, change the Ram for Geil PC6400 C4 for £10 less and keep the money saved. That or buy 4gb Ram instead.

Would be a great system for gaming. I think the E8400 is meant to be faster than the Q6600 too?

edit: Forgot a HDD. You could add one for £30 and it'd be £10 over the price of your original spec
