Need advice on what parts to buy to make a custem gaming machine!

[Splinter]

Im going to be making my first build soon and need advice on what parts to buy.
Ive already bought my motherboard and my case.

Mobo: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=16486822215&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=83836

Case: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=91831

I need everything apart from those 2 things.

Not from newegg because im in england, from here www.ebuyer.co.uk

Im on a budget, so around £500, if thats possible. btw it needs to beat the PC in my signature, i hope its possible.

Not screen, not the ram becuase ill be getting some good 2GB ram in a month or so...

Thanks alot people

if google was correct, 500 pounds is about 780 USD? It'll be kinda hard to really top that out by alot. Why do you want a new build anyways? why don't you just upgrade what you have? I mean that computer really isn't out of date.

UK£ 500 = 874.1 US$

I want to upgrade the system because i have a dell compter, i dont want a dell lol.

I would like to build my own system maybe we could upgrade the limit to $1000 "bucks" witch is £572.

Thanks for the reply. Keep in mind i dont need ram or the screen, motherboard or the case.

Why buy the same CPU twice? you already have it in your current system so 5 minutes work and youll save 190 pounds

The one im buying is better, but i do see were your comeing from...

I want to build a completely new system, so when im done and it works then i can sell my old system on Ebay and get my money back.

Can anybody see anything wrong with the setup.I updated the PSU to 500W btw.

One question, do pentium 4 duel core processors work in any motherboard or do you need a special motherboard.

Thanks.

your mobo supports: Intel Pentium 4 EE/Pentium 4 HT/Celeron D, so no, your motherboard will not support the Pentium D, u would have to get a new mobo that would...the description will say.

 

[Splinter]

So what your saying is, the motherboard will support the 3.4GHz HT Technology Extreme Edition procesor and will not support dual core?

I spose thats fine, Can u see any problems with the list of the stuff im going to buy? Does it all fit, and is the best for money?

Cheers.
