Hi i hope i am allowed to request a build for this amount because i dont know much about new hardware and was wondering if i could ask for a build budget is negotiable give or take
OS/monitor required?
shipping will probably be expensive since it weighs close to half a ton but whatever floats your boat buddy
I cannot make head nor tail of that. Use Punctuation.
Just to clarify, I apologise because I wrote this on my phone. I would be grateful if somebody could possibly point me in the right direction of a build around the cost of £500 to £600. Thank you.
what do you need specificially, OS, monitor, peripherals etc or just the build itself
Just a build i have a monitor and os :)

I'd wait it out. A sandy bridge cpu/mobo would be best but they won't be back on the market for another month or so.
I thought they were back?

With a weight like that its more likely to sink his boat, actually

hes shipping it to a boat???
thatll probably cost extra too
forget sandy bridge for this budget, if it was £100-200 more then yeah but it isn't so phenom II it is

phenom II 955, GTX 560, SLi ready so you can stick a second 560 in as a cheaper future upgrade
make sure you remove scansure
if that 560 isn't in stock by the time you order swap it with [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-evga-gtx-560-ti-fpb-40nm-4104mhz-gddr5-gpu-850mhz-shader-1700mhz-384-cores-dvi-i-minihdmi[/url]

WAHAHA. A 955 will bottleneck a 560 big time. Plus it's based on a dead platform.
600 pounds is exactly 968.494 USD at the time I'm posting this. I can put together a sandy bridge build for that money. The only issue I can see is shipping putting it to like 625 pounds.

Not yet. Intel just finished negotiating the OEM replacements with ASUS and Gigabyte 2 days ago.

not as far as I can tell?
the fact that your first reaction was to do direct currency conversion tells me a lot about how little I should listen to you, it just screams "yet another american who doesn't know about differences in pricing between countries"
try the same argument with an australian and they'll be the ones laughing at you
Hey 955's are [b]phenomenal[/b]

I'm Canadian you idiot. I love how you automatically assume I'm American just because I use a form of currency that has become standard throughout the world. I've done virtual builds for friends in the UK and the prices on computer parts is pretty much the same from what I've seen on British PC part sites.
This a pretty cool computer for a good price.

More generalizing I see. Scan.Co.uk isn't the only part dealer in the UK. I can go to microcenter and get an i7 for $200 but on newegg it's $300. Does that mean that newegg costs $100 more then a general i7? No, it doesn't.
Anyway your useless input and generalizations are a waste of my time. Have fun knowing you're advising the OP to grab a CPU that will bottleneck any modern GPU and is based on a platform that's been mainstream since 2009.
scan has some of/the best prices in the UK
but hey I'm talking to someone who thinks a slightly worse CPU will cause severe bottlenecks and/or an intel fanboy, why waste my time using knowledge and sense
I find it pretty funny that you seem to be taking offence to this when nothing has been said about you persnally, but hey why try to prove things when you can just get pissy and claim things that aren't true
Jesus christ that's a heavy comput-
oh.
£600 was a marker, I could go easily £100 over it, but i have no preference between intel and amd as I have no in depth experience with either one.

Just a bit over the £700 Mark.

Why two GPU-s?
Just get a 560 maybe?
CPU is a dual core, not worth it.
MoBo is AM3, AM3 is for AMD CPU-s, not Intel.
Maybe a Spinpoint F3 instead? They say that big Seagate drives break easily.

wow holy shit were you trying to make this as terrible and incompatible as possible, the single well picked part in this list is the case
if OP can go to 700 then here, sandy bridge version

Thanks for taking the time to compile a build, I appreciate it :)
