Spec me a PC £500 budget

[hyper_piper45]

Hi, im after a pc and have got a budget of £500.

All i need is the tower. (no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.)

It will be mainly for general browsing and games if possible.

Thanks in advance!

If the PC is for gaming this is what I'd be suggesting although the CPU will need a healthy overclock to keep up with the graphics card. If you aren't happy with that I'd suggest going for a faster CPU but an X1800GTO. If you can find any more of a budget I'd also recommend getting a more powerful PSU as although this one should be fine it may be close to its limits.
