So I'm building a new pc right from the bottom. I don't have much knowledge on Motherboard types or chassis but apart from that i could easily understand and assemble it.
I live in the UK so any parts from the U.S have to have shipping to UK. I've been reading different websites about it but they're mostly outdated and i can't find cheap parts.
Hoping it would have specs similar or higher to this:
Intel Core i5 2500S/2400S or 2500T/2390T (read more here [URL="http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/about/core.htm"]http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/about/core.htm[/URL]
320 GB SATA (at least) or SSD (if i can fit it in the budget)
Nvidia GeForce GT 520 or ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 or anything higher
6 GB DDR3 RAM (hopefully room for expansion)
Don't really mind about sound: integrated would be fine.
It would really be helpful for any useful website links to buy parts at cheap prices and for you to post your knowledge about motherboards and different chassis' and types.

4/8GB DDR3 ram, cheapest.

and did you actually want the 2500S for its power saving, or do you not care and just want performance?

i was thinking about laptops when i wrote 2500s, i've got the OS from an old laptop but it might not work. Even so could get for Win 7 HP for £60.
I bought a semi decent gaming pc for around £600 in April
(probably £500 by now so you could get a better GPU and more ram)
anyway, here it goes:
AMD Phenom II X6 3.2 GHz (Overclocked to 3.6) ~£150
ATI Radeon HD6850 1GB ~£130
8GB Corsair XMS3 ram ~£80
MSI 870A-G54 ~£70
Alpine 750 Watt PSU ~£50
LG DVD Drive ~£10
Zalmann Z7 Case ~£50
Samsung F3 2TB HDD ~£60
I can run crysis on max settings in full HD with around 30 FPS when nothing is happening, but drops to around 20 when in multiplayer, all other games run fine without problem at 60FPS. Video editing is very good and so is video converting
Everything from amazon
You do not need a six core CPU for gaming.

Also there is no 2TB F3, that's the F4.
