    Budget gaming PC

    For gaming on a 17" does this look ok - would like to give ATI a try, hence the 4830 instead of 9600/9800GT

    e5200 £62.08
    2GB PC6400 £21.84
    Asus G31 £35.08
    Antec NSK4480B with 380W PSU £55.99
    LG Sata Black £13.79
    PowerColor 4830 £89.99

    Comes to £278.77

    Will the PSU and motherboard be ok? What heatsink is the best balance between cost/performance?

    Sounds fine. If you are going with uATX it might be worth getting the NSK3480 which has a better fan arrangement and on ebuyer should be £2 cheaper.
