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 ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
AMD FX8350 cpu 8gb Kingston 2166mhz ram Kingston 120gb 510/550mbs SSD 1Tb HDD Coolermaster case Corsair H60 cooler 750watt PSU 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
