You had room in your budget, so I went for a 2500K and P67 instead. It was about an extra £40, but it is worthwhile if you even overclock a year from now. You can get that to at least 4.5 GHz and last you a few extra years. The K series Sandy Bridge CPUs are very easy to overclock as well. Feel free to switch to another case that fits your taste too. That is as good as it is going to get given your budget I think unless things change if you end up ordering in a month or two.

screw it, im going with this build, but with a few modifications. thanks again to both of you, your help has helped me a shit tone!

Ill post my changes and see if they work, also noticed the prices have went down a little.

[SuperMorto]

Im going crazy here, what if I went down the AMD route?

[Goku]

You will burn in hell.

What modifications do you need to my build? That was a few weeks ago so it maybe a bit dated.

For a mobo get this one since the other one is no longer there

[Traak]

I think you would be better off with the Intel. AMD has yet to produce anything that can beat the Intel offerings lately. They used to offer more performance and better price. Now they can't compete on performance, so they just lower their price to where it will compete based on that with some of the lower-level Intel chips.

Reviews have not been kind to even the absolute latest AMD Bulldozer chips, so you are doing okay with Intel. Perhaps in the next generation, AMD will pull it out of the hat, but who knows?

[SuperMorto]

I think im going Intel. Its seems the best option for me.
