So, I'm going to buy a AMD build as opposed to the i3 2100 build which was from a less trusted website, known as DinoPC, I am now ordering from Ginger6 which seem to have a lot of good reviews, and here is the build I've got, in a few years, I can always upgrade to a Phenom II 980 or whatever, here is the build :
CPU - AMD Athlon II X3 450 (3x 3.2GHz) 4000MT, 1.5mb
CPU Cooler - Standard AMD CPU Cooler
Case - Cooler Master Elite 342
Power Supply - 430w Corsair
Motherboard - Asrock 880GMH/USB3
Memory - 4gb Kingston DDR3 1333mhz
Hard Drive 1 - 250gb SATA2 Hard Drive
Optical Drive 1 - Dual Layer DVDRW Drive
Graphics - (Buying HD 6850 from another website, £111)
Operating System - Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit)
Warranty - 1 Year Collect and Return Warranty (Mainland UK ONLY)
Total price : £465
Or I could get it with Win7, another option is the Phenom II 555 or 550 and take my chances unlocking to a Quad core, though a Triple core would suffice, I was planning on trying to unlock the Athlon 450 to a quad core anyway, but I'm not sure I was the risk of only having 2 cores, as when I could have 3 if both of the unlocks failed.
