Spec me

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could spec me a decent build for £415-£450?

Dont need accessories, but everything else yes. (Well i havent included a GPU here, but if you can build something with one fine...

Intel i3 2100 3.1GHz - £92
Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Blu - £23
Coolermaster CM690 II Lite with Coolermaster GX 650W PSU - £98
Asus P8P67 LE Intel P67 (Socket 1155) Mobo - £73
Microsoft Windows 7 Bundle - Home Premium 64 Bit (w/ Cav. Blue HDD) - £100
OP Drive - £15

Im sure this adds up to about £400...

(PS Yes some parts arent from OcUK, but it would help if you could get them all from here, to make it easier)

Thanks for the builds, anyone else have an input?

Haha

Thanks for the builds again.

I was just wondering, if i were to cut windows out of the situation, and just use Linux on the PC, would that work?

Eg. Installing Linux, then when i can afford Windows, buy it, and then install it instead? (Will i have to wipe the whole drive? Or can i anyway?)

So, builds for £450 w/o OS?
