Its my first time building a pc so I dont really know what I'm doing:P I'm trying to build on a really tight budget, so they parts I've picked arent the latest but they should play the games I want. Processor- Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-087-ANCPU cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-017-ARthe only thing I'm missing is a case, can anyone suggest a good cheap first case.. If you see anything that could be better, please tell me but I have a very tight budget of just over 300 pounds. can anyone help a noob?
Everything looks good excpet that motherboard. I'd go with a P35 Chipset over that. Something similiar to THIS and for your case THIS or THIS. IMO thats all you need to change/add to make it better:Dcan anyone help a noob?
Go for this in a case, best for the money imho: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-NX%26groupid=701%26catid=7%26subcat=35%26name=NZXT%20Alpha%20****c%20Series%20Silent%20Midi-Tower%20CaseThe only other thing I would suggest, ditch the CPU cooler, at your level you wont gain anything from overclocking, and a stock speeds the cooler that comes with the cpu is fine. Take that extra cash and put it twords one of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-142-AS%26groupid=701%26catid=56%26subcat=1008%26name=Asus%20GeForce%20EN8800%20GT%20512MB%20GDDR3%20HDTV/Dual%20DVI%20(PCI-Express)%20-%20RetailWith the cash from the cooler it would only be 22 pounds more then the card you picked out and the performance increase will be huge. Like night and day huge. Good luck!
so ditch the cooler, whats a P35 in terms of motherboards and is it better than what ive chosen?
if you havent ordered your case already and want your 'puter to look snazzy check out this site. its where i bought my case from. i got the apevia x-crusier. happy browsingp.s. take a look at some of the novelty items, like the energy drinks and the various tower addons. my personal fav, the cup holder/cigarette lighter.
