Motherboard + CPU for £100?

They looks reasonable to me - the 8300 should be about on a par with your X600 but use less power, so all in all that's a decent choice. Presumably that also came in a bit under budget?

Ebuyer £104 (super saver)

I hope 8300 will do the job...

Hey

Trying to install the heatsink, does it matter which way its fitted? can fit two ways:

Its symmetrical, doesnt make a difference, one way will be easier, retention clip on right hand side.

erm...so it makes no difference? after I cliped it in (either way) heatsink is tight and very unlikely to move, which is what I want? guess I will have to find out
