    It's £35 for the version with the 1156 mount.

    The only place you can realistically save money without compromising on quality is by dropping the monitor down to a smaller size, or getting a slightly less powerful GPU (like a 4850 or 9800GTX+) though you could also save £10 by getting this PSU.

    So you put the more expensive RAM back in? That's £15 right there.

    And why did you go for a more expensive monitor? It's no better than the other LG one or this Acer.

    The Acer monitor you suggested does not have a HDMI input. As for the Ram, i completely forgot about the link you sent me, but with post and packaging i might as well just get the XMS3 kit.

    Ah, fair enough on the monitor then, but Novatech do free delivery on all orders over £50.

    Ahh, again i have been naive, better take it off the list. But, how does the G.skill kit compare to the corsair kit ?

    They're exactly the same speed and latency, so you won't notice any difference at all. Memory is memory :)
