Hi fellas my brother has given me ?600 to spend on a pc to play world of warcaft and starcraft 2 when it comes out and 50 for myself for building it lol..

Anyway he spends all his time playing world of warcraft and nothing else,he wants a decent pc that can play it a very high levels and its expansion Wrath of the Lich King.....

After a few hours searching last night I have come up with this....

Intel Core 2 Duo E2200 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.20GHz ?81

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-190-IN

OcUK ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro 512MB GDDR3 ?143

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-085-OK

OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision ?46

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-072-OC

Shipping ?30

Gigabyte S775 Intel P31 DDR2 ATX Audio Lan ?68

http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quic...1147&PageMode=1

Corsair Memory 450W ATX PS/2 SATA 12V ?59

http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quic...gationKey=11023

CoolerMaster Centurion 5 Black/Silver Case ?51

http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quic...&SearchMode=All

Samsung SpinPoint 320GB 7200RPM S300 16MB ?68.43

http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quic...&SearchMode=All

Pioneer 20X DVD+/-RW IDE black ?23.93

http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quic...&SearchMode=All
Shipping ?24.27

Total cost for everything including shipping comes under my ?600 budget by ?5.37

Total ?594.63

So what do you think?

Anything I should change,like is the psu good enough to power a HD3850
or a new single 9800gt/HD4850 when they come out?

Budget is strictly ?600 not a penny over,so if get a better psu I will have to downgrade ram/cpu etc....

Also can I get it cheaper somewhere else (Irish or uk based) with the euro being so strong at the minute or have I got a good deal as it is?

Thanks
