You are talking about 1600HMz DDR3 RAM? If so, link please.

I already lost the house, literally. Like I said, there's a reason for my budget. Help me out here.

You think? Memory prices are always dropping. I figure that by the time I upgrade to 4GB I'll be paying £20 instead of £40.

Did you read what I quoted from their site? It's not a 600W peak power output, it's a 600W steady power output. Also, the test I linked on the 4850X2 showed the
entire system using less than 400W at it's peak.

It's not pre-built, it's custom built, but I take your point. I could probably just about manage to put a PC together myself. I have plenty of experience swapping components in and out but no experience in building a PC from scratch. My main concerns with buying seperate components and assembling them myself are 1) I may mismatch components (a
good PC supplier won't do that) and 2) I get no warranty that way.
