The force gt is around 65€ so it should be around 50 pounds. And my idea was to then spend the other 50 on a gpu, so no downgrading.
But op's limit was 400 pounds anyways, we missed the monitor.

No way haha. I can't seem to find a 60GB Corsair Force GT SSD here in the UK, but they sell for around $90-100 on Amazon and Newegg, which would be around £60-70. Whereas the SSD I linked (Can't even remember what it was now) was only around £40-45.
Personally I wouldn't buy such a cheap SSD, and I only buy Intel/Samsung/Corsair for SSD's, but when one is on such a low budget as £500, I personally would rather have a lesser known branded SSD than no SSD.
But yeah, I didn't realize he needed a monitor.

lol wat. i got my force 3 60gb for 70€ over a year ago and pounds is a good bit lower than euro, so that should be about 50 pounds.
Yeah but prices are different in different countries remember. Although I said they'd be around £60-70, I don't know for sure because I simply converted the $90-100 they cost in the US. You can't really And at the time of your purchase it may have been on sale.
nah it hasn't. i got it for a couple of friends over the past year and the price was always between 60€ and 70€.
Nobodies arguing? 
@SeekaX .. No what hasn't? o:
You may have several friends over here in the UK, but once again I say, you're talking in Euros. The price of a 60GB Corsair Force GT may be 60-70 Euros where you are, but that doesn't matter, because the prices will obviously be different here in the UK, because it's a different country. Like, a 60GB CFGT costs $90-100 in the USA. Meaning, you can't really compare prices between two different countries.. Plus, out of all the Tech sites I know, I can't find a single 60GB Force GT SSD here in the UK. So in a way, we both have pointless arguments because the OP can't afford one either way..
Shall we end this before anything escalates? I seem to be attracting arguments a lot recently.. ._.

like you said, not really an argument.
i was expecting it to be less pounds because you pay way less for GPUs etc.

Good choices.
I'm quite a fan of Asrock but then I would be, I made friends with their staff who used to send me beta bioses
Perfect choice of components there tbh should make a cracking little PC
Thanks for all the... enthusiasm!
I have to say that the ASRock boards are quite possibly the best priced motherboards around, with great quality too!

idk if i missed anything, but asrock used to be the cheap ass brand you should always dismiss iirc. but that might have changed in the last years, haven't paid any attention to them since the one mainboard i had was freakin terrible.
that makes me a bit biased i guess.

They've definitely changed mate, most of their stuff these days is on the ball price/performance wise, and they even have some decent mid-range z77 MSI competitors which I usually suggest if someone doesn't like the MSI blue scheme.

Asrock were always a spin off of Asus.
Their early boards were famed not because they were particularly good, but, more because they offered things other boards did not.
For example they've made boards that can use DDR2 *and* DDR3 (not together obs) as well as boards with PCIE and AGP 8X, ideal for those wanting to carry older parts over to an upgrade.
Over the past two years however? they've become pretty seriously competitive. The shame is that their high end boards are not particularly cheap, leaving you to jostle over whether you can get your head around having an Asrock board.
Their lower end boards though are pretty sweet, given that they usually offer more for your money than other boards in the same price bracket
A couple of years ago I bought a Alive ! Xfire board that was donkey's years old for £30. It supported 8X 8X CFX and with Asrock's help (a lady who I got to know who works there) we got it running Thubans and everything :lol:
