Hopefully prices drop by the time I'm ready, ill do some google shopping on the parts to get the best deal ^^

The hard drive is not really "budget" but it's best value for money imo.

If you havent noticed yet, Psu is missing from the list, any recommendations?

Will be adding a GPU later, either this or one of that, depends on which price is right

Hi i am not familiar with UK h/w prices but these are the kind of budget rigs i do up for my clients Integrated video most of the time until they have more funds for a discrete GPU

Thanks, but if you take a look here, you'll see why the ram you posted isn't in my spec list sadly

Prices arent as good in the UK as they are in the US

Understand - hope that h/w choices helped hehe
