...£500

Im aiming for a decent gaming machine - I have an idea of what im going for.

Im wondering what would you choose. All thats needed are a CPU, Mobo, Ram and GFX.

This is how I'd spend the £500 although change the CPU to OEM and buy the Arctic Freezer 7 for overclocking with, the only reason I didn't select it is that the CPU is currently out of stock. I'm also assuming you currently have a decent PSU.
