assuming you have monitor, keyboard etc.

here's what i can do to get you a c2d rig:

what everyone else think?

EDIT: Oh damn i hope you have a case, i missed a few things out actually lol akasa zen the option i think.

Need a case
No point going for 160GB, larger drives offer better value for money per GB
That machine you specced up is a good office/photoshop workhorse, but forget playing games on it.

hey the 7300 is quite a capable card, you could play css, bf2 etc on that.

look at the op and look at the rig -Nick- specked if u can get a bigger HD in the budget id like to see it, for £350 m8 your not going to get an OS or case unless you go second hand

EDIT :

This is the best i can do £40 over budget

Agree, if he wants everything. From the spec above no point buying a 80GB HD, basically paying over the odds...it's like a little while ago, the 200GB was in fact a fiver more expensive than a 250GB!

Get more money please.

in my experiance its better to wait an few months and save a couple of hundred quid extra so you can get a C2D system

otherwise youll build it and be happy for a month then youll be wishing you held back because you could have built a better base system that was a lot more future proof

Your cooling would be worth more than the actual rig in that case!
