I live in the UK and am about to start in the world of building a computer, with help from my dad(he has experience) i am looking to build a setup for things such as small gaming(not worried about everything in max settings) at playable fps, i will also be converting films from time to time, it will be on a 32" tv.
I have about £300 to spend between graphics, motherboard and processor and will be getting other parts over time.
I have been looking for a wile to find out what i want and i think AMD is the way to go for my budget.
I have heard good reviews on the phenom 960t black edition and the 965 black edition but i dont know what would be best.
i would be overclocking it and maybe think of a new cooler or watercooling depending on what people think.
The mobo i have heard is one of the best is asus and the sabertooth 990fx and crosshair v but i think thats a little out of my budget.
I need ideas on a graphics card tho as i dont have a clue, if i get a mid range and one day another or 2 low range, i want a balanced system so its not all bottle necking.
I also need ideas on all other aspects of the system.

i like this case and psu, I want the system to be as quiet as possable but not worried if i hear fans as it needs to be cool.
Memory would Corsair Vengeance 12GB DDR3 1600Mhz Memory be ok to use?
I would be getting a hdd not a ssd for now but maybe one day i will upgrade, will be about 1tb.
Please feel free to give ideas.
Thanks
