Computer Build Advice

How does a build like this sound?

 

I only have a budget of £300. Anything I should change, anything I need to add? I have a 23" TFT monitor and my old HDD/CD Drive to put in it.

Would this be used for gaming? If you're not going to use it for heavy duty tasks, 4GB of ram will suffice (try to get G. Skill/Corsair and make sure it will work with your motherboard), I'd also suggest swapping out the GTS 450 for a GTX 550ti, i think its around $20-30 USD extra.

 

Edit: Fixed some stuff.

Yeah it will be used for a bit of a gaming. I have a set budget that I can't go over though :\

If you must upgrade and that's your budget it's "decent." Otherwise I'd advise saving up and getting a better video card, DDR3 is pretty old.

How much is that in normal people money?

And what is your current Rigs specs?

Personally, I'd swap the i3 for i5 2500K and get a cheaper GPU. But I guess if your gaming, the build looks good. :)

Looking good for that money yeah..

 

That setup will run for few years =)
