spec a conroe system for £600!

[dafadau]

A mate has asked me to build him a new gaming system for £600, so I'm thinking you should be able to build a E6300 system for that?

Just needs to be the base unit.

Could do with some help!

Does he already have a PSU and Harddrives/Dvd drives etc? You might also want to get a better mobo if he's going to overclock it at all.

I doubt he'll be oc'ing, so I suppose he doesn't really need that mem either
