    Budget:£350
    Main uses of intended build: Gaming
    Parts required: Everything other than a graphics card (I have a new 5850 lying around), RAM and monitor
    Previous build information (list details of parts): E4500 2.2Ghz, Palit 9600GT 512mb, 160GB WD and 2GB Ram. However, I plan on selling this PC as opposed to scavenging parts from it.
    Monitor resolution:1440x900
    Storage requirements: 500GB to 1TB
    Will you be overclocking: Ideally, I'd want a Sandy Bridge build (which blows the Phenom's out the water for gaming) so I guess an i5 2500k would not fall in my budget. Overclocking is still an option for a future upgrade though.
    Any motherboard requirements (no. of USB, Xfire/SLI, fan headers): USB 3.0 would be nice, and future xfire/SLI capability if a capable PSU can be fitted into the budget.
    Extra information about desired system:
    As I said before, I'd want Sandy Bridge unless the Bulldozer CPUs coming up are any good. I'd be looking to build the PC in late June/July. Also, at a push you can exclude the DVD-Drive from the budget as I can buy that earlier than June and spend £350 on the rest of the components in June. I also have free delivery @ scan so delivery need not be factored (same for Scansure. It need not be factored into the budget). Anyway thanks for your time!
