You see, this is my problem... I've just priced up all the bits you outline at UK prices to see how it compares. According to the newegg costs that budget system comes to $567 (which converts as approx £283.50).To buy that same stuff here actually costs £435 (or $870) and I'd need to add an optical drive yet as well - for a "budget system".
I also priced up the mid-range system from the marathon build out of interest. According to the US cost it came to $1,255 (£627.50) - which I'd be more than happy with if I could sell my old system.
To buy everything in that build from the UK actually comes to £780.00 ($1,560) - plus shipping! Infuriating!!
Anyway, you've given me plenty to think about so I'm going to do some looking round for prices/parts and will come back with some ideas to see if you can give me the thumbs-up/thumbs-down on any of them.
Thanks for all your help so far. Look forward to getting your input in a few days if that's okay.
