Going mainly with Peto's advice:
M.B: Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H AMD 790GX Socket AM2+ VGA DVI HDMI 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard. ~ £125 Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition ~ £170 RAM: Cosair (TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) ~ £50 per 2gb Graphics: Don't know yet. Anyone got some ATI suggestions? How about the Sapphire HD 4890? ~ £190 Case: As cheep as I can get. I don't care if it looks like a pile of crap. How can I tell if my case will fit everything in? Less than £100 Cooling: I have been advised to overclock a little, so I suppose I need some good cooling, but I don't want to pay for looks. ~ £20 Power Supply: I have been told that a cheep 700W is just as good as an expensive 700W. Is this true? ~ £30 HDD: Don't care. Cheep. I have lots of networked storage in my old PC. ~ £40 Optical: I can use my old IDE DVD drive, right? ~ Free Sound: On board only; I only use headphones.....unless anyone thinks I need something more...? Free(?) OS: Vista 64 - Right guys? ~ £100 Total: About £850, perhaps £900 and some with P&P How does that sound? Any bottle necks or incompatibilities? How much RAM should I go for? 2GB seams a little small.
