Hey all,

this will be my 1st build so please go easy on me. I'm building a mainly gaming system that will last a couple of years at least. I have the important parts selected but need help finishing and staying in budget of £650. I have so far:

I don't need a mouse, keyboard or monitor.

I do need a motherboard, case, PSU, RAM, DVD drive/Burner, Hard Drive and anything else I'm missing. I just know if I do this myself 1st time I will muck up the power supply or case size.

:D:D

PS: I did like the look of thecoolermaster elite 430 (Sold Out at moment) but wasn't sure if it's big enough or the 500W PSU would be enough for the graphics card.

Cheapest I can get without sacrificing performance, considering you want the 480. You can get £22.49 off the GTX 480 with voucher code "giga480" I think.

Perhpaps try work around this build, or consider that maybe a cheaper GPU/CPU will suit your needs.

O/S is an extra £80,

Added a better PSU, and also HDD. With Windows 7 and the GTX 480 voucher code it's just on budget.

guys, dont forget the OS + hard drive bundles.
*edit* looking at your builds, i'll change that to 'dont forget the OS'
(end edit)

also, that patriot viper RAM probably wont work with sandybridge mobos since its minimum voltage is 1.55V

heres the best i can do with the case you wanted if you go for the xigmatek you could save yourself an extra ~£10:
