This is what I've ended up with... Yeah, I think we can pretty much write it off as a MoneySaving Failure! :rotfl:

Any comments, suggestions or improvements anyone would like to make before I hit "buy"? :D

    I also can't see what you've bought...

    ..but I understand the numbers...the PC I'm currently using had an initial £300 budget, yet I spent just over £800 on the day :D

    What about a decent monitor to go with it?

    We're alright for a monitor at the moment... It will want a decent one later on, for sure, but that can be a Christmas present. That said, we'll be trying to buy a decent widescreen monitor for his Mum. Any recommendations whilst we're at it?

    And seriously: if anyone has anything to say about this build, do it NOW 'cos I'm ordering in the next twenty minutes! :)

    Card details filled in... waiting to click "confirm order"... Last chance to tell me I'm ordering the wrong stuff!
