Re: New build - around £500
Hey I havnt included a mouse, (although I wouldnt recommend that saitek one, i had one it broke very quickly) but I think this is a solid build for £500. Squeezed in a DX11 Graphics card, Quad Core CPU and 4GB Ram - plus a higher quality and higher capacity hard drive.

Re: New build - around £500
This is what I would go for:
500GB Samsung F3 ~ £34

Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P ~ £71
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/GIGAB...770T-UD3P-MOBO
This is a very well regarded motherboard.
OR
MSI 770-C45 ~ £49
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/MSI-7...dio-GB-LAN-ATX
This motherboard is considered quite decent for the money too!
AMD Phenom II X2 545 ~ £64
http://www.scan.co.uk/TodayOnly/Index.aspx
This has L3 cache which is better for gaming and also a 770 based motherboard with the SB710 southbridge (the two I mentioned are 770 based motherboards with this southbridge) you maybe able to unlock to a quad core!!
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair XMS3 Dominator DDR3 ~ £83

Coolermaster Centurion 590 Black ~ £49

500W Silverstone Strider ST50F-230 ~ £50

Saitek PM42 mouse

The total comes to around £517.
