You're having a laugh.

OS, monitor, mouse, keyboard and you've virtually spent his budget already :confused:

Yeah but if your selling a laptop it's not like you can keep any of those parts so you won't necessarily have some spare.

Also, I didn't imply he would need all of these, I was asking what he would need out of those. I don't think it's an unreasonable question.

It's wasn't an unreasonable question.

It was just that you made it seem like you could fit all those things into a £150-£300 budget.

Peace man :)

Don't take this the wrong way but it's supposed to be a gaming system.

The onboard graphics aren't going to get the OP very far:

Plus the rest as above takes you to around £300.

You could get an AMD processor for £20-£30 less and an AMD motherboard for £10-£15 less allowing you to spend more on the graphics card.

Not really in the know about AMD systems but seen this sort of set-up suggested before I think :confused:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM £30.98

I would reduce it to this then:

OCZ Intel Extreme XMP 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 10666C7 1333MHz Low Voltage Dual-Channel Kit £35.99

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM £30.98

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5830 Extreme 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **OcUK Exclusive** £85.99

Comes to £213.

I think you're better off with the hard disk above than a laptop one but that's up to you.

Make sure your PSU is up to running this lot.

Off to bed now.

I'll check on this later.
