Just a courtesy reply as it's close to the half hour.

Haven't finished yet, just fine tuning a few builds on 4 sites.

Be back with you as soon as I can.

G'awd that's a hard budget to build to. Anyway, this is just over the £400 budget at £405, but that's with £10 shipping included. www.overclockers.co.uk

Some very good components in there. It's a decent build for gaming at 1280x1024/1440x900. If you can find another £12 you can get the core2 E4500; extra 1mb cache and 200mhz speed increase.

The card and ram are 'this week only' deals. The card is priced in-line with the 8600GT at the mo. Same amount of shaders but faster gpu/ram.

Best non-hd optical on the market currently, very good mobo, gamers hdd.

Yeah, I'd buy it.
