Wonder if you guys can help?
Just keeping an eye on the market for the following products. If you know of a place who sells at a better price let me know.
May buy within the week or wait for a week or two (I'll be on holiday next week)

Processor: Intel Core2Duo E6300 Skt775 /w fan etc (OEM Would be better if it's considerably cheaper, any ideas where to find cheap oem chips?)
Price: £113 from Ebuyer

CPU Cooler : Scythe Ninja Plus
Price: £35 from Scan.co.uk

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4
Price: £108 from Ebuyer (Stock overdue)
Price: £110 from Scan

PowerSupply: Seasonic S12 330
Price: £40 from Ebuyer

HardDrive: 320Gb Samsung HD321KJ Spinpoint T, SATA300
Price: £63 from Scan.co.uk



Thats £360 so far. All prices included VAT and delivery.
RAM: I'll need 2Gb DDR2 RAM suitable for overclocking (geil value?)
Graphics: Also, will I need a graphics card? What's the cheapest card I can get to make this system worthwhile?
What would you guys suggest for the ram and graphics card?


I'm not a gamer, I might play the odd driving sim but nothing that will require ultimate graphics.
Also will the prices off these products come down any time soon? Will there be any price drops in 2 weeks time do you think?

Thanks guys

E6300 with Retail HSF
Gigabyte DS3
Geil PC6400 800MHz

Dont bother with the DS4 unless you plan on doing Crossfire, which i doubt u will with not wanting great graphics

If you ever plan on overclocking that CPU, id recommend spending a little more on the PSU. That one you've chosen isnt very powerful by todays standards
