I don't play many games, though it would be nice to run armed assault 2. Aside from that there's nothing I do which is cpu intensive minus a few HD movies. I'd like a decent spec because I probably won't bother buying a new one for another 5+ years. My current desktop is a AMD xp1800 for example.
What I've come up with so far (picking a mobo at random):
Intel i5 750 2.66GHz £150
Asus P7P55D LE P55 £100
4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM £90
ATI HD 5770 1GB £120
total = £460
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz £130
ASUS P5QL PRO £60
4GB DDR2 1066MHz RAM £75
ATI HD 5770 1GB £120
total = £385

you will need a new PSU too your looking at £50-£60 for a decent one have you accounted for this ?
if not let me know you new price range and i will help you out dude.
Also the 5770 is a big card you need a good PC case to fit that in .
with a low budget i would be looking at the AMD 995 cpu's too.
