Are you talking &#036; or £?

&#036;. ok. maybe a bit more. 1800-2200. that&#39;s my guess. shouldn&#39;t be that expensive [/b][/quote]
2,200.00 USD = 1,162.85 GBP seems abit too cheap.

get the 3400+ it&#39;s the same speed as fx-51 but cheaper

Yeah, the 51 only gets about 8% better than the 3400+, for about 400 dollars more.

I&#39;m guessing overall this will cost about &#036;2500-&#036;3000(£1,320-£1,585). I&#39;d be willing to spend that though I don&#39;t know if I should build my own o get someone to do it for me.

I edited my specs again if anyone can fill in the blanks(reccomended monitor, floppy, case etc) please do. Also tell me if I&#39;m missing something or could reccomend better things for the ones I&#39;ve filled in.

[j4y3m]

I&#39;d probably break it if I built it myself, I&#39;m kinda accident prone.

I&#39;ve finished choosing my specs and this is what I came up with(all from newegg).

Thermaltake Xaser III V1420A Chassis,12-Bay,( BLACK ),ATX Super Tower,Large Side Windows,With 7 fans and Lock+(W0009)420W Power Supply. &#036;159.00
PHILIPS 107E56 17" CRT Monitor &#036;105.00
GIGABYTE nForce3 150 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 940 CPU, Model "GA-K8NNXP-940" &#036;209.99
AMD Athlon 64 3400+, 1MB L2 Cache, 64-bit Processor &#036;425.00
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series,(Twin Pack) 184 Pin 2GB(1GB x 2) DDR PC-3200 &#036;547.00

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro &#036;88.00

Total: &#036;3,089.00 or £1,632.75

I&#39;m not going to buy it just now but if you can tell me if I&#39;m missing something or if there&#39;s anything wrong with this set up that would be great. I&#39;m still might change the case and monitor but I don&#39;t really want the price any higher can you reccomend a good monitor and case for about the same price as the ones I already chose? Another problem I&#39;m having is I&#39;m in the UK if someone in america could buy the stuff change the plugs and send them to me that would be cool.

Look for a a64 mobo which supports "quiet and cool" so you won&#39;t have serious heating issues

Why don&#39;t you buy everything in the UK?
