So I finally built the new computer. It took me a while and I've literally just finished fitting it into the new case, but I think it was worth the investment.
I spent around £300 actually obtaining parts this week, as I already had some of them, here is a rough breakdown of total costs, including what I already had and the approximate price it sells for at the minute:
Case - Vantage Diablo £30
Processor - AMD 8350 Black Edition (4.2Ghz Turbo'd, 4.0Ghz standard) £150
Motherboard (Asus M5A97 R2.0) £70
Graphics Card (Radeon 6450 2Gb) £50
Power Supply (650 watt cheapo thing) £30
RAM (2x 4Gb Kingston, 2x 2Gb Hynix, all at 1330 Mhz) £40 + £20
Firewire Card (Not sure what make, but cheap as chips!) £20
500Gb HDD (Seagate Barracuda) £30
320Gb HDD (Western Digital) £20
Total of £460
Here are some pictures from the build process:
