Allright so I am gonna build a new computer from scratch.

I was thinking about these parts:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =MB-002-BS : Motherboard

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =CP-246-AM : CPU

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =CA-101-AN : Case

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =MY-086-OC : Ram

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =HD-057-SA : Drive

So as you can see, I need a Graphic card, Cooler, and power supply.

This computer is made to be a gaming PC, mainly World of Warcraft and I expect it to run at FPS of 30-50.
I'm looking for a graphic card that is CrossFire avaiable.

My budget is around 500-600£ or 750-900 $. These parts are included in the budget, so I got around 450£ left .

Please use this website for finding the parts: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/index.php.

I really hope you wanna help me with this.

Best Regards Gewglz

Upgrade the CPU to X3 720.

That takes away 65 pounds, so you're left with 385.

Upgrade the HDD to WD 640 Caviar Black. Another 16 pounds extra there, left 369.

Scythe Mugen 2 cooler, 37 pounds, left 332.

I'd say use Windows 7 RC if you don't have a Windows disk already. It's free, until March 1, 2010.

So, what kind of PSU and graphics card can you get for 332 pounds, with the PSU able to support two cards.... Let's see.

Sapphire HD 4890 210 pounds

Corsair 750TX 110 pounds

You can build a nice budget build around the e5200 and gigabyte's p43 board.
