I'm struggling to work out if anything fits! If anyone can help and give recommendations would be appreciated! My computer atm is failing.

Total budget ?600, but can go higher if necessary. I already have:

Windows 7 64bit Mega edition or whatever it's called

500GB HDD for my films and music.

I'll be using it for the odd game (not really, just L4D2 is my fav) but I'm not really super interesting it it being bleeding edge for new games, just so I can play games OK.

I need:

Case

Motherboard

Power supply

SSD, 64GB+, to install OS on.

Graphics Card

Ram

Keyboard + mouse (mine atm are the round plugs, I'm guessing I need new ones?)

I already have a PCI soundcard, and 2x Samsung monitors.

MOB : ?80

Processor: ?155 AMD (comes with heatsink and fan)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... ubcat=1944

Memory 8GB: ?120

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... ubcat=1387

Gfx: ?90

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... =GX-149-XF

Total so far is ?440, is this looking along the right lines? All from overclockers if possible, next day delivery

Is it okay to just get 4gb of ram for a gaming box? Would 8gb make any difference?

4GB is fine imo, I just got 8GB because it was in a special deal bundle.

Got it up and running just now, it scores 7.4/7.9 on winows rating!

NEVER be a cheap sod with PSUs. A cheap PSU could take out your mobo as well as other components when it blows.
