I need a mobo, 8GB ram and cpu inc hsf. My budget is £500 but i would like to see some change

This PC will be for gaming.

I already have a OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD and 6950 2GB. Im just upgrading my current PC (E8600, asus p5b deluxe and 4GB ram).

Thanks.

No just the 3 items. I have a corsair 620 Watt psu already. I have arctic silver already and get free delivery

Ideally I want to spend as little as possible but i also dont want to buy the cheapest of everything!

olivier renault, thanks for the spec.

olivier renault the ocuk shopping cart viewer is cool

shadow_boxer, for the price of the ram i may as well stick with 8GB although your point is good.

PC all installed with a few pics taken. Will post later.

When the PC boots there are probably around 5 beeps before it loads into Windows. 2 of these are for the 2 USB devices i have plugged in. These go when the devices are removed. So this leaves 1 beep and a 2 beep. The PC seems to be working fine. Are these beeps normal?

I have reseated gfx and memory. Tried booting with 1 of each but the same

Thanks.
