Hello im new to the forum and in the process of selecting components for a new quiet build. My budget is around the £700 mark and the PC needs to be a general all-rounder. What I have so far is as follows:

Case/PSU
Antec P150 Quiet PC Case - 430w HE Modular PSU (CA-047-AN)

Motherboard / RAM / Processor
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (GE1GB3200BHDC) (MY-005-GL)
Asus A8N-SLi Premium nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-111-AS)
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA3700BNBOX) (CP-121-AM)

Graphics Card
PowerColor ATI Radeon X800 GTO 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-054-PC)

DVD/CD-ROM/RW
Sony DDU-1615 DVD-ROM (Silver) - OEM (CD-015-SO)
AOpen DUW1616 Chameleon 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter inc. Ivory/Black/Silver Bezels - Retail (CD-008-AO)

HDD
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 160GB 1600JS SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-047-WD)

If your not worried about overclocking, the new batch of opterons are looking good. Pick up one of those instead of the 3700+ and you'll save 40 odd quid.

Thanks for the reply. Im not worried about overclocking to be honest although the CPU, mobo and memory I have listed above are a bundle deal so im probably saving about 40quid as it is anyway. I'll check it out though for sure.

the bundle saves you.. £0... Go for a Asus Crossfire MVP board with the same RAM and CPU and you'll save about £40 - then put the saving into an X850XT Graphics card. Other than that nice spec .
