This is an impossible build. I am sorry.

You are better off getting a £500 laptop ^_^

Ive put the effort in and managed to get it done!!

Phenom x4 3.0ghz
8GB DDR3
Gigabyte GTX460
500gb HD
Gigabyte MB
Windows 7 Home premium
700w PCU

not the best parts in the world but I've got what I needed!!

I have a choice of GTX460's, should I go with Gigabyte or Gainward?

Cheers

Gigabyte for the win.

Thanks, i went for the gigabyte model, also decided to upgrade the ram to 16gb (the guy in the shop did it just an extra £40)
