I posted a while back for some help on what to get however got a bit busy and put my project on hold. I was looking at building an i7 system which i could overclock. What would be the best parts. Also i wanted to know the best graphic card for 3D. I have a budget of about £200 - £300.

You want the i7 system.. and the Graphics card for £300?

Honestly, Infyente, it's impossible to make a decent enough PC for only 300$. I mean, it is unless you go for parts that are already two years old and older. You'd need at least a 500$ budget for us to create a budget-gaming-kinda-PC for you, provided you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Also, do you have an old computer from which you can use the case? That'll definately help lower the price.

There's an i5 system (CPU, Mobo, Cooler and RAM) in the Market place for £140.

Seriously, I have my i5 760 clocked at 4.2 GHz, and it tackles games comfortably. Get a used 570 or 470/480 for the remaining money, and set up a test bench..
