perfect
Expect I got an older motherboard, ala Gigabyte 965 DS3, other than that, same spec
Right, so I held off buying before xmas, mainly due to me being ill and lazy during the hols. Is the build suggest in the previous post still suitable given the price range or is there anything new that could be added/replaced?

I'd go for a P5k motherboard, but that IP35 is still good. There is an OCuk cheapo version out now if you want to save a few quid. There is also an e2200 with a 11x multi, but you probably won't need a multi that high to max out that motherboard.
Your original spec is still good
