What do you think?

Max budget is £350.

Gona be used for more than ET btw.

What i wana know:

1. Worth the price?
2. Anything better available from those sites with similar price?
3. 125 stable fps in ET?
4. Would there be any problems with running those components together? (e.g. ram wont work with motherboard/psu wont work very well)

Cheeers

clarkee mate, dont do it :D

i was thinking about getting similar specs a while ago & i decided to save up a bit more and get better specs

I got an ATI Radeon 5770 512mb for £60 from CCL - Free delivery
HDD is decent, but if u need an extra £10 .. get the 500GB (western digital)
the CPU is fine as most games only use 3 cores atm
fair play that MoBo sucks :D .. spend atleast another £20 on that -> get a chipset around 790 or 880 .. which also supports future CPU's, possibly CrossFire and USB 3.0
get better RAM -> 1600MHz or smth similar .. about a few quid more

rest seems decent

Edit:

1. Yeah it's worth the price, not really future proof tho
2. The specs I listed above
3. Obviously :D
4. Get better ram, valueram SUCKS
