Ok I've decided that i5-2500k is a bit overkill for me, and I talked with Shane earlier and settled on a i5-2320. It's still quad core and I don't do heavy gaming so it suits my needs. This also means I don't need a Z68 / P67 motherboard.


productwhat I likeprice
Asus P8H61-M PRO REV 3.0 MotherboardCheap, has iGFX HDMI, USB 3.0 and supports SATA III£47.00 (amazon)
Intel Core i5-2320Quad-core, decent for my needs and obviously more oomph than a i3£129.98 (amazon)
Kingston 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM Module (x2)No-frills, cheap, plenty of RAM for me£17.93 (£35.86 combined) (amazon)
HDDEver since the Thailand floods, HDD prices have gone through the roof. So I'll use my old 2.5" SATA 250GB until prices fall.
Crucial CT064M4SSD2 64GB M4 SSDFast, SATA 3 interface, enough for my Windows installation and maybe a small Linux distro. But this is low-priority for now...£70.00 (amazon)
Sapphire Radeon HD7750 Graphics Card (1GB, GDDR5)At the lower-end of mid-range cards, it will suffice for GTA SA, Minecraft and so on. Maybe some BF3 without the extra eye candy.£79.75 (amazon)
OCZ 600W ModXStream Pro Power SupplyIt's a power supply made by a reputable brand. Clean power ftw!£51.99 (amazon)
Antec Three Hundred Midi CaseI spend more time looking at the screen, not the computer itself (ok maybe if there's a fire I may just look over). So this case will do.£47.78
TOTAL£462.36 (without a HDD, cables etc)
Am I missing anything?

Looks decent, but I would go amd if you're looking at a low budget. I love my 960t and it was... 130ish..? The mobo was almost the most expensive part I bought I'm pretty sure...
playing since 2010, moderator for over a year demoted for being an ass to an asshole then banned for speed hack then returned for awhile then dipped out

Nice

I'd rather go with an i3... Honestly the i3 would just blow the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition away in single and dual-threaded tasks, even some triple-threaded. Core i5 would obliterate it.

4 GB Ram is Enough..  I use i5, GFX 550 and i don't have any problems
With ram being so cheap these days it doesn't hurt to spend an extra tiny bit of money on extra ram.

You got your money for arrest, and he's out so you can arrest him again. You mad?
