Will be ordering a PC with my mate a bit later on today. Thought i'd post what I have come up with, just to hceck any known incompatabilities and such.. The budget is around £1000 but we will be buying a couple of peripherals too. This won't be an overclocking rig but I am still assuming that I should go with the 6300 Pentium despite this? This is what I have:
