You cannot link to your basket, it is stored in cookies on your system, which other people do not have. Do a screenshot.

But, I'd think you'd be looking for:

Processor: Intel E2180 = overclock the hell out of it.

Mobo: Some P31 / P35

Graphics : 9600GT / 3850 if a lot cheaper .

PC2-6400 cheap RAM.

Cheap case

Decentish PSU

Arctic Freezer Pro if your going to overclock it to get free extra performance.

Ummm....

Isn't the 630i motherboard a Socket 775? And the AMD X2 4200 is a Socket AM2.

Also why would you go AMD when they are total crap in comparison to Intel... and the new Intels are much better overclockers, heck, the 4200s ancient.

Apart from that, it would be fine.

You'll need the fans with that case. Also, the PSU with that case is cheap crap that I would be wary of.

All I can say is stick to recommendations that people suggest as good systems, or do your research properly.

It is not hard to realise that Intel are much better than AMD for most things at the moment.

Just make sure you put a final spec up here before you buy anything so as someone can check it will all fit together.
