    Hey,

    Firstly, as asked:
    Budget: £500
    Main uses of intended build: Gaming, Videos, Some Photoshop etc.
    Monitor resolution: 1900X1200
    Storage requirements: As much as possible (I have a lot of movies + music)
    Overclocking: Yes
    Any motherboard requirements: Not really
    Extra information about desired system: Trying to keep as close to possible to £500 as possible.

    I've compiled three builds:

    Build 1: I will overclock to around 3.6 or 3.8, then attempt to unlock all four cores, making it quad core.

    Build 2: This is a future proof plan at little expense.

    Build 3: Future proof and solid performance.

    All details are in the spreadsheet:

    Please advise me on any savings I could make or different products that may be better. Also please say which package you prefer.

    Many Thanks,
    Darkcutuan
