    Need a new pc

    Heya
    I'm going to uni in september, I really need to get a computer.....
    I've got about £500 to spend on one, i've already got a good mouse, screen and speakers, just need a case, mobo, graphics card, RAM, fans etc..
    It's going to be used for gaming (if possible for that amount) and doing research on the net.
    What would anyone recommend for components?
    Cheers
