One more questionFor gaming 4gb (2x2) is enough and the 1090t will be easier to overclock.
Lool, it's hard to find a decent case + decent PSU for under £70, or maybe im not looking right, a ATX mid tower case and maybe like 600W+ psu is all I need but I cant find decent and cheap ones.That case you posted is over priced and looks complete crap in terms of quality/airflow,and i take it your going to use the 800W power supply that comes with it?
I wouldnt.
Ebuyer do some good cases cheap,id buy a case from there and a seperate PSU....dont use an El cheapo one that comes with a cheap case,your asking for trouble :/

But yeah, I'll research on ebuyer..
I have no parts yet, I'm looking to buy a 1090t 3.2GHZ, hoping to overclock it 4GB 1333 DDR3 RAM, a Nvidia GTS 250 1gb and since I was going for the 'el cheapo' case I thought with 800W it would be alright but I guess better quality is better . And yeh, I found a case Coolermaster Elite 430 All Black With Elite 500W PSU for £62.98What are the full system specs you are looking at, what parts (if any) do you already have, what do you have left to get, and how much do you have to get all of that with?
Chances are, unless you are using 2 high end cards, 600W is overkill. And there is a reason you can't find good, xheap components - they don't exist. The term you get what you pay for is exactly right 99% of the time when it comes to computers
Well, like I predicted, 600W is overkill. If the system is meant for gaming, it is also terribly unbalanced for gaming; your video card will hold you back and your CPU won't be used properly because most games don't use 4 cores
You are better off saving ~ £70 and getting a 955BE:

Well, I want 6 cores because I use photoshop frequently, editing stuff, designing things for work etc And I could work a lot quicker with this?
Yeh I like to game in moderate amounts, not a very hardcore gamer but ye, wouldn't mind being able to play games like crysis etc which I wouldn't have been able to before Mainly PS and gaming6 Cores doesn't really help all that much with PS, it will work flawlessly on 4. The only thing that will really push your CPU is large scale 2D rendering, graphic design isn't a bit problem at all for a quad core.
Is the system only going to be used for PS and similar software? Will there be any 3D rendering or gaming done at all?

1333mhz with no particular brand in mind, just the cheapest possible that will work I'm a cheapskateThe parts that I listed would be better for that then than the one which you put together before.
What is the 4GB of memory that you were looking at getting?

Going for a GTS 450 1gb btw
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 1333

Good enough?
This memory is faster than PC3 1066 RAM and it's the same price:
CORSAIR XMS3 4 gigabytes (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory RAM - $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145260
Same specs as that corsair for $5 less:

Or, wait for this to come back into stock, was $49.99 as well:

Or, $10 less than the corsair:

Sadly GTX 460 is just too much for me, and yeh, I live in britain so it's a shame, newegg certainly is a good site Maybe I'll go with a cheaper CPU and get one I'll seeIf you can fit a GTX460 in your budget, like I posted, that would be a much, much better option.
For the links and prices everyone posted, they aren't any good. I assume, as you initially posted links to British websites and your budget is in £, you are in Britain. If so, Newegg don't ship outside of US, so you can't go by their prices, you will have to find the products you find in a British store, which is why I posted Scan, they give the best price the majority of the time, but check out Ebuyer/OcUK as well, they are sometimes better. If it works out overall cheaper with just 1 retailer though, go with that, shipping will be less
