April 2012? By that time, a lot of prices have changed. It always pays to be prepared but not with tech.

HDD prices would have normalized by April 2012 I hope.

I forgot to mention the total price is £321.50, I hope that the HDD prices have dropped by the time i want to start getting the parts, i was thinking about getting a 60GB SSD, and getting a 250GB HDD for storage? I know i'm not going to be buying the parts until another 4 months but i just want to give myself an idea of how much it will all cost! Are all the parts compatiable? Thanks for the reply cutebeans.

By the time you purchase in april 12 you can get even better gpu like nvidia 650 or amd 77xx . Atleast get a am3+ motherboard to have better upgrading in future
