So, here we are again. I bet this thread looks familiar already, but… Anyway 
[COLOR=‘Red’]The very top of my budget is £450 ($700usd)
Case: Casecom 6788 Black Mid Tower, 120mm Blue Front Fan – £26 ($40usd)
Psu: 750W Powercool 80+ Dual 12v Rail V2.2 High Efficiency – £47 ($74usd)
Motherboard: ?
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 4 x 2.33Ghz – £104 (£163usd)
Ram: Kingston 2gb (2x1gb) Ddr2 1066mhz – £25 ($40usd)
Gpu: XFX HD4850 1Gb – £76 ($120usd)
Hdd: 750Gb Seagate Barracuda – £59 ($92usd)
DVD drive: Samsung 20x dvd-rw – £9 ($15usd)
[COLOR=‘Red’]Total (-mobo) = £346 ($543usd)
A few things;
1– Graphics card wise, I also saw this just now, is it worth halving the memory and getting a HD5000 card? I’d say no, but it’s worth asking.
2– Yes, yes, I know using a quad is old hardware, but I’m on a very tight budget, so overclocking and cheap future upgrades are important.
3– Yes, YES :hmph:. I know there’s not much ram, but that’s an easy place to save money, because more can always be added. 
These past 2 points are obvious things people will point out, but I’m not completely blind or stupid, there are reasons.
4– I do need some help picking a motherboard, they have me completely baffled. It’d have to be fairly durable and have features if everything attatched to it will be OC’d at some point, but again, price wise, I don’t wanna stray over about £65 ($102usd)
Naturally, advice is welcomed
