Help need item list and advice for PC

Hey guys, im building a new PC for my mate, he will be using it for Multimedia, world of warcraft and general office works, he has 330 pounds to spend (650 dollars ish) and he wants to try to fit in an AMD Dual Core into the budget.

He already has the monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse and soundcard.

I was wandering where i could find a cheap, good quality shop that ships to the UK.

I'd appreciate links and advice, or if anyone wants to list a system that would be great.

Thanks alot

330 pounds, that gunna be hard!

"He already has the monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse and soundcard."

Its still gunna be hard. E.g. HDD £40

Dual core: £120

Mo/bo £60

Vid card, £60

around £280 there. Could he save up a litte more, it will me difficult, but not impossible. (or is there any other componants from an old computer or something, just write them dow if so)

Well, here are goo cheap Pc sites;

www.savastore.com

www.overclockers.co.uk

www.ebuyer.com

www.dabs.com (more expensive there tho.)

Also, you may want to consider buying a pre build one, you can get them supsling cheap nowadays.

Depending on what his old system that he is taking parts from, probably will need a new PSU. Good ones are in the $50 to $75 dollar range.
