Thank you everyone for the help over the past 3-4 weeks my build is now complete, i will upgrade the motherboard memory and add an SSD at a later date and eventually the graphics card, but im quite happy with the result.

6gb DDR3 1333Mhz ram
1tb HDD
DVD RW
Zalman Z9 plus case
22" LED 1080p monitor
Steelseries mouse
Emprex gaming keyboard
total spend in the region of 690-800£
