With the amount of expertise among hexites it shouldn't be too difficult to keep a sticky with some components suggestions.
PC Gamer have some component recommendations and a £1k pc that they post the component list for every month, but being a magazine makes it hard for them to keep up with the times and limits the number of things they can cover.
How about a sticky with some suggestions for "best of" components in price brackets, kept reasonably up to date. Maybe even stickies with £1000 PC, £800 PC, £600 PC and £400 PC. I think it would be a selling point for the forums and the site in general.
I've been quite busy with work and stuff so stopped following the hardware situation, but am due a new PC soon so gonna look into it now. While I am happy enough to do a bit of digging myself a starting list with some pros and cons for each would be a good place to start at.
