Intel core 2 duo E6700
innorvision geforce 8800gts 320 or a x1950pro ultimate 256mb
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C5 800MHz
ive already got hardrive and cd/dvd rw but need a new case any recommendations i would like the system to be quiet
do i need anthing else
please help many thanks
 
dont convert the money just use an english site. the prices will be much different.

if your are going to overclock then i would suggest getting an E6420 or E6600 price jump isnt worth the LITTLE bit of extra performance
 
yh id go with the the E6600 and i have never heard of Geil RAM

try some1 like OCZ crucial or kingston.

also check out ebuyer.com there the cheapest site i have found ;)
 
yes if your going to try to save a buck on a PSU i would suggest not. buying PSU's cheap can cost you your whole setup :eek: make sure you get on with overvoltage protection
 
here we go i got bored so i done a full build for ya ;)

Processor £139 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=112706

Motherboard £59 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=113965

RAM £76 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=116755

Case £29 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=105235

PSU £41 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=105994

Graphics Card £182 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=125325

CPU Cooler £16 : http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=105994

now i think the only thing ppl will Q me about is the case coz its made from ebuyer extra value but i can assure you it is great i built 1 for my mate and it runs quiet and cool and looks really cool aswell.

and i think that adds up a lil over your budget £542 and if i was you id consider dropping the graphics to the 8600GT to drop below your budget ;)

EDIT : PSU Link fixed
