hello hello hello.
i would like to get a good gaming machine up and running by the end of next month and i need some advice on the parts.
this is my first proper build so im quite new to the high end components
my budget is £700, i dont really want to spend more than that cous i would have to wait longer and save up the money
so..here we go

(£126.49)
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.80GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £91.99

Sub Total : £614.88
Shipping : £12.99
VAT is being charged at 15% VAT : £94.18
Total : £722.05
im sure i can manage the £22.05
one thing i want to make sure is ok is the size of the GTX+ i know its a big card and i want to make sure it will fit in there ok
i may put another GTX+ in there in the future and another 4GB of RAM at some point if i get a bigger moniter or if i need a lil extra preformance.
i will be overclocking the cpu to about 3.50Ghz
what do you all think then?
Cheers
