Im hoping to build a decent PC for under £300.
This what I got so far:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148715 Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz Socket 775 800FSB 2MB Cache Retail Boxed
£65.50
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/147238 Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 Socket 775 onboard VGA 7.1 channel audio mATX Motherboard
£42.99
^^ Is this a good mobo, what is mATX? will it matter for me?, if yes please suggest another around £50, that would work with the CPU.
is it all compatible?, also is the PSU/Case a decent one, cuz i dont want the PSU melting on me lol. or is 400w not enough!
What dya reckon to the gfx card?
Please give me comments and other options and cheaper deals (I live in UK tho...)
If you're chosing between those boards, you should probably go with the MSI. The gigabyte is a micro atx board, they are smaller and a little harder to work on. The MSI will be a little faster. You should really look at least getting into the E7300 cpu. The speed difference will be very noticeable.
For the combo drive, I would suggest this, or some other SATA drive. The prices are virtually identical these days and the smaller cable allows for better airflow.

The case is a mini case, it will be hard to work with that compact space. This case is a mid tower and comes with a psu. It's not great, but it looks like you are going with a budget system, so it should do what you need.
