Hi, looking for some spec advice i.e best combination of CPU, mobo, Ram and GPU for £300 and £400 please. Use's are browsing and games on a dual monitor setup at 1280*1024 each. I have the intention of going to a 24" monitor in the future for 1900*1200 gaming.

All advice welcome and appreciated.

currently have a DFI RDX200 Socktet 939. My current thinking was 5770, Phenom 550, Ram and a MSI 770-C45 mobo.

Thanks for your views all. The 8+2 phase VRM, does that really merit the extra money? I really appreciate bang for buck, as I usually look for 3 years out of my builds. Sata 3 doesn't really bother me, moving from Sata 1 to 2 will suffice. SUB3 eeek is all this voltage control etc so important?
