This is my new build, the basics cost about £420 for cpu, mobo, ram, case, psu, water cooler.
I already had the graphics card for it, I bought new SSD and all the drives too, so total spend is about £750. You could save a bit of money if you already had those things.
Still havent had time to play with it much, but damn it is fast 
AMD FX8350 cpu

1Tb HDD
Coolermaster case
Corsair H60 cooler

Nvidia GTX660 2Gb
Creative X-Fi

Watercooling sure looks cleaner than a big ass fan!

| Looks lovely. I'm kinda budgeting around £600, minus card. Did you source all parts from same site, Ebuyer was it?

Everything was from Ebuyer.
I coulda saved some money on the Mobo, paid £90 for MSI 990FXA!
Also the AMD 8350 cpu seems nice, but the same chip just slightly less Mhz is the AMD 8320, its about £30 cheaper but you could overclock it to same speed.
The stock coolers on the AMD 8 cores are also awesome, small and with copper heatpipes, if you arent going to overclock, then dont bother with watercooling and save some cash.
I was going to buy Intel, but AMD seem to have the right package for Price vs Performance. Im not going to be decoding videos and I dont have a laptop, so fancy cpu instructions and low power consumption didnt mean anything to me. The choice was obviously AMD for me.
I still havent pushed it yet, but it seems stable upto 4.93Ghz
