I have never built a computer before. Can you check to see if these parts are compatible, and if there is anything better than what i have selected.
I live in the UK so no newegg and my budget is £550 as well.

I already have a optical mouse, monitor and will be using the floppy drive out of this pc, i brought xp pro 2 months ago.
This machine will be used mainly as gaming, and standard things like school work, internet and msn (but no need to have a decent pc for that)
also do you have any good tips for building it.
Thanks.
