looking for a new pc and this is what I have come up with:
intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz Socket 1156 4MB L3 Retail Box Processor £93.55
Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 XMS3 Dominator Memory CL9 (9-9-9-24) £104.99
Corsair 650W TX Series PSU - 120mm Fan, 80+% Efficiency, Single +12V Rail£74.57
Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H H55 Socket 1156 Motherboard £67.99
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache £63.87
Pioneer 22x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Black Drive - Retail Box & Software£18.59
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 Socket 775, 1156, 1366, AM2, AM3 Heatpipe CPU Cooler £18.17
XFX HD 5770 1GB DDR5 DUAL DVI DISPLAYPORT HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card £132.26
Anyone come up with something better for around the same price?
 
In terms of Core i3 the 530 seems to be the one to go for, and importantly it's all compatible.

Though if you find yourself with a 'little' extra cash the i5-750 is arround £55-60 more than the i3-530.
