Everything is bought now and delivered apart from the case which is coming tomorrow. Unfortunately it ended up costing about £30-40 more than I had planned though. Overall it seems ok for the money, could have probably saved a bit more on the graphics card and ended up buying a brand new case as the ones going on eBay for cheap were a bit crap and looked worse so just decided to buy a CoolerMaster Elite 343 to get the job complete.
AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition - £25 eBay
ASRock N68-S motherboard - £15 eBay
Arctic Cooler 64 freezer pro - £10 eBay
Inno3D 8800GTS 320mb - £35 eBay
Crucial Ballistix 2x1gb DDR2 ram - £13 eBay
Jeantech 450w PSU - £13 discount place
Seagate 320gb HDD - £10 eBay
CoolerMaster Elite 343 case - £31 Amazon
Total = £152
Was thinking about using the OCZ vertex 2 SSD I have but seems a waste so just going to sell it instead, might even sell this computer yet.
Going to build it tomorrow then I'll find out if any of the parts work! Also need to find somewhere to put it and will hook it up to a tv until I can get a free monitor. Will just be used for QW, Q3 and QL... really missing some dm!
