    I'm still looking at the £200 gaming PC, all in: mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor and the unit!

    Mouse + Keyboard - £10
    Speakers - £8
    Monitor - New 18.5" widescreen - £70

    That leaves a budget of £115 for the main unit or about £145 if the monitor is second hand.

    I'd be looking at more gaming orientated peripherals rather than just a bog standard mouse and keyboard and 2.1 speakers too. The monitor would have to be full HD too so 22"

    As said it would be a gaming PC so the peripherals need to be half decent

    I can honestly say that this is one of the most brilliant ideas I've stumbled across here! So much so that I believe I may follow suit and try to put together a decent gaming base unit for a lovely cheap price.

    Well done sir :thumb:

    Hell yes lol! Awesome soundtrack to my domination! That E5200 should get up to 3.6 easy and even 3.8/3.9Ghz

    Lol i just forgot he's using my motherboard. Definitely up to 3.6Ghz with hardly any extra voltage. My E5200 was running on that very board not even a month ago.

    Didn't think I could really afford a E5200 on the budget if I wanted to buy new fans (those guys are dusty as hell)....

    But I've got a E6300 and a Freezer 7 on the way so we'll see what we can get out of that. If I can get to 3Ghz, I'll be well happy!:rock:

    Just in case Parge missed it, I sent ya a PM about the RAM, etc. £15 for the 2x1GB kit, and I'll throw in the 80mm green LED fan. If you wanna rock the SB card I have, it's yours for another £15. :3

    If you are lucky, I'll send a signed photograph of myself, smothered in baby oil.

    Edit: The photo that is, not myself. >.>
