For my entry I have chosen the following components

CPU: FX-4300 3.80GHz £90
Cheap and nice OC potential.

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) £52
Preety neat price for what you get. 2x PCIEx16 for crossfire and 4x2133MHz memory up to 32GB total.

Ram: 2x 16GB (2x8GB) G.SKILL RipjawsX 1866MHz CL10 2x£72=£144
A lot of ram, so you can have bunch of thing running at the same time. You can OC them too!

Hard Drive: Raid 0 2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive 2x£57=£114
You get 2TB of SSDs speed storage. Up to 400MB/s read speeds with almost no drop in performance.

PSU: 750W Corsair Builder Series 750CX 80PLUS Bronze Power £69

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 2 Dual Fan Quiet CPU Cooler £58
This one is amazing. That is what you need if you go with AMD CPU and don't want to have water in your case. You can OC you CPU almost to water cooling levels.

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 Black Midi Tower Window Gaming Case £37
Nice deal for a gaming case with window. Yea.. there will be some nice view inside on that 4x GeIL memory, beastly CPU cooler and.... crossfire! Yea..
We are now at £564. We have almost £200 to go!

2nd GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics £80
This upgrade makes a big difference in games. You get 2 times better performance!

With £100 left you can get some fans!
This case supports up to 6 fans!
Top: 120 mm fan x 2
Front: 120 mm fan or 140 mm fan x 1
Rear: 80/90/120 mm fan x 1
Side: 120 mm fan x 1
Bottom: 80/90/120 mm fan x1
Total 5x120mm and 2x140mm fans!
Thermalright TY-147 140mm Quiet Fan for £6
and
5x Cooler Master SickleFLow Blue LED Quiet Case Fan 120mm 5x£4=£20
Couse blue looks cool!
Now that we have about £70 left we can get command center for you case ventilation!
Zalman ZM-MFC3 5.25" 4 Channel Fan Controller - Silver for £34

Total cost = £704
You can buy some new games for the rest! This machine would be a beast compared to my Athlon X2 5000+ and HD 2600 pro 256MB DDR2
