Not a big budget for an i7 build :/

But considering everything, just knocked this together, although a bit over budget.

Many thanks - definitely food for thought. Do you think its worth bumping up to a nvidia 260?

definately over the 9800gt if you can afford it.

I would advise you to cough up the extra £70 for these parts as the 260 will give you brilliant gaming performance compared to the gt
