Spec me a £600 build.

Can you please help me decide on a £600 build.

These are the compomonents i already have.

Dvd burner x2
Sound card
ATI x1600pro (plan to get a 8800 Later on)
Screen.

So i need these components.

Cpu (Must be a C2D)
mobo ( a good overclocker)
ram (2gb)
hd (SATA 200gb+)
Heatsink
case
Power supply.

I can make my add or take £60 at max. I use the pc for Msn/BF2/Photoshop/ Other programs like that.

Thanks Phil

Very tight budget tbh.

Would you consider dropping to 1GB at all? Could easily buy another GB later on.

Edit - The above spec is exactly what I would have suggested, but with 1GB GeiL and a Scythe Ninja HSF. You'd need to upgrade the case and PSU to acommodate an 8800 series card tho.

I'd go with Will_3rd's specification but I'd consider changing the Ram to OcUK PC6400 instead as it has decent enough specifications and will save you around £15, or even the Geil PC6400C5 on This Week Only which will save you around £30. :)
 
I have managed to get hold of a 600w power supply that will do me fine. and i managed to get hold of a bit more so i have a £600 at max budget. Less the better.

I will want a case that will support the 8800 later on.

Thanks Phil

This might be the best option, actually, Although somewhat limited at the moment (IE - only 1GB RAM), you are saved the expense of having to upgrade the case and PSU when it's time to buy the new graphics card. The e4300 overclocks fairly well on stock cooling, so you've no worries there.

Definitely a nice looking spec there. But PSU not necessary so you've saved a bit
