Well he has made the effort to fill in a template which is useful dude and in effect there's actually very little variation between builds anyway:

For budget builds this is what I suggest:

CPU- AMD 4100 with dark rock advanced cooler (£120 from aria)

MOBO- msi 990xa-gd55 (£72 from aria)

RAM- corsair vengeance low profile 2x 4gb sticks @ 1600 MHz (£40)

PSU- corsair tx650m (£82)

Storage - 500gb WD caviar blue (£55)

GPU - Vtx3d 7850 (£175)

OS - 64bit win7 home premium (£65)

£609

Then add a monitor (22" Asus or Acer for ~£100) and a basic case for £40.

Best I can do for the mo. It comes in at around £750 but it doesn't really get more stripped down and focussed than that to be honest

yup, looks like with that budget, and needing a monitor etc that you need you may struggle to get what you want for that budget

This can be done no problem.

I5-2500K build with GTX 560ti and everything else needed for a complete system.

nice work, although you've chosen a micro atx case so that board wont fit in that case.

Really nice work in fact, i keep looking over it to think what you've forgot lol

You are right. I was thinking of the MSI Z68MA-G43. I should have paid more attention.

Easy fix. Just pic a midtower case that is under £35. Plenty of cheap cases on the market.

I have to admit I've never seen a 2500k sold that cheaply, isn't that the Aria site? How come I can only see it for £144?

I'd still go for a amd cpu and spend more on the gpu.

PSU for £12.00? WTF...I'm not sure I'd get that

I agree with your opinion on the PSU. The quality and reliability would be a big question for me. If the OP could inclrease the budget by £200 he could build a really nice system.

This is from the Aria site.

That PSU might be a bit of a worry and wont deliver constant quality ;]
