You don't want to buy any of your stuff piecemeal. Wait and save about 400-500 pounds for a complete upgrade. If you buy a board for example, you won't be able to test it within the 30 day return period.

never really been good at saving lol could you direct me to a good site to get a new set up. i am looking at getting at least a quad core cpu but the 6 cores intrest me very much also i dont really want to buy a system run every thing on the market on high and then have to pay out more for a new gpu withing 6 months to a year. i,v been looking on pc spcialest website (pc finance site) but there finace acceptence is tighter than a nuns well you know...

could you recomend a good set up that will last a good couple of years before needing drastic upgrade

at a budget of around £500

No. I'm not familiar with uk sites. This is an outstanding deal if you can get financing through dell and have them ship it to you: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dddakd1&cs=19&ACD=10550055-361116-FWaazrxu&AID=361116. Don't know if they will offer this in the uk or not; it even includes a 1 gb video card. Use this code 5TK?LC9VJ5F to get an additional 20% off. I don't normally recommend dells, but since your budget is so low, it might be good for you.
