Ok, thanks for the help so far guys.
Looks like i might be able to get an overclocked i5 within budget (£600ish inc. monitor), here's what i have so far. (Pre-Tax prices)
1 x MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) P67 Socket 1155 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 261288 £91.28 £91.28
1 x Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor 251596 £141.24 £141.24
1 x Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz Memory Kit Unbuffered CL9 178943 £15.80 £15.80
1 x KFA2 GTS 450 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card 278119 £65.18 £65.18
1 x Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache 173804 £33.32 £33.32
1 x LG GH22NS70 22x DVD±RW with DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive - OEM Black 263923 £11.62 £11.62
1 x Coolermaster Elite 330 Case With Coolermaster eXtreme Power 500W PSU 220863 £47.22 £47.22
1 x Corsair A50 Socket Intel 775, 1156,1155, 1366 AMD AM2 AM3 Performance CPU Cooler 226441 £20.55 £20.55
Anyone see any issues/bottlenecks/low quality parts there?
Also, it seems i can get a Radeon 6770 for the same price as the GTS40, looking at Benchmarks the 6770 looks better, but i'm not really sure what i'm looking at, anyone confirm my suspicions?
