Build Me a Gaming PC

Hello, i'm lookin' for a Gaming PC,
i have a budget of £450 and i don't know what to exactuly buy, im having trouble in which to buy.
could someone list hardware components in which i will need.
E.g the following;
Motherboard
Grapics Card
RAM
Hard-drive
Processor
Gaming Case
And any others that you may suggest to have. and also could you leave the website links to these products which are within the UK.
I will be much greatful if some one could help me out here, Mitch

 

my suggestion,

cruise e-bay and get an idea of how these gamers are built and their price.

 

Greetings and welcome to MajorGeeks!

With that small of a budget, not sure what kind of gaming machine you are looking for. More of a casual gaming machine, from the price tag.

What is a local website that you frequent to buy stuff in the UK?

 

www.ebuyer.com

Also i can get VAT FREE, so you don't need to include the VAT

 

To enter the gaming world i would want a high cal. dual core with at least 1 gig of DDR2!
A nice chunk of video card and some pretty decent cooling i reckon....

Usually more than your prescribed budget but still attainable!!

Regards...

 

core 2 duo processor (E6300 or 6600, they are the cheapest)
7900GS or x1800XT video card
Corsair, Patriot, or Crucial DDR2 (at least a gig)
Good PSU (Antec or OCZ, 500W minimum)
Western Digital or Seagate hard drive (250gigs is only about $80USD)
Pretty much whatever case u want
dont forget about disk drives (dvd/dvd-r drives are most common)
