First off, this case at £85.25 caught my eye just because of it's looks (This is nerd porn, right here). Just ready to be turned into some sort of godly sexy gaming unit, staring me down with it's lustful blue lights... I don't think it's natural to get this excited over reading the specs of a computer case.On the technical side of things, it comes with a total 9 different drive bays, fully ready for customisation and one top fan, one at the rear and two specialised fans within the case, with slots ready for another two if needed.
Next off is the power supply (After all, the computer won't be much use if it couldn't turn on) the CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600 600W comes at £69.99 with all it's 48A continuous power goodness. The GS600 600W promises to be near-silent even at the most testing of times, and with it's 600W power supply it's safe to assume this will power my new computer without a problem.
The XFX ATI Radeon HD 5850 PCI-E Graphics Card with 1GB GDDR5 video memory, 1440 stream processors, 256 bit bus width and many more features at £229.50, is probably slightly better than what i actually require, but it keeps my options open if i want to try more graphically challenging games in the near future.
The £252.03 INTEL Core i7-950 Processor with it's four cores and 3.06 GHz clock speed will ensure that i can run the computer at great speeds, even when i am running multiple applications at the same time.The GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 ATX Motherboard - LGA 1366 Socket at £159.18 comes with a powerful I7 CPU, supports up to 16gb DDR3 Ram, has sockets for 2 graphics cards, comes with many great modern features and is customisable for building your very own personal gaming PC just the way you want it.
Finally, I decided duel screen the PACKARD BELL Viseo 190WB 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor 's because I tend to run a lot of applications at the same time (Word, games, flash, a lot of websites, msn, skype, etc.) and with duel screens i can separate them better for better organisation. These monitors come at £79.97 each.Of course there is still a lot more stuff i need to think about if I'm going to buy a computer, I haven't even thought about hard drives, RAM, extra fans, keyboards, mouse, speakers, headset, tablets, software etc. But the current total for the above parts is set at £955.89. So i think I'm going to have to maybe get some cheaper alternatives on the other parts if I'm wanting to keep these parts and not spend an absolute fortune.

did you have a nerdgasm when you thought of getting this?
Ofcourse I did! I'm surprised you even had to ask!

Thar, minus the stuff you still need that isn't on the list (screens etc), convert your budget to dollars and see what works out
Then go to overclock.co.uk and see how much it actually is.
Tips: Just go for any dual channel ram, 4GB or 8GB is your pick (8GB is the cheapest for 64 quid I think, 4 is like..26quid) Branded ram is shit, just make sure it's either 1333mhz or 1600mhz.
For harddrives: get a cheapo SSD for your OS and maybe a few games and a spinpoint F1 1TB harddisk for storage or something.
Make sure to get thermal paste for your cpu, get a cpu fan if you plan to overclock (the K next to 2500 and 2600 mean it's unlocked).
Don't go full retard and get a 1500jigawat psu
I could use that for when I get my new PC :D
