Basically my PC just kicked the bucket, turns on fans spin, and the motherboard doesn't give any beeps and the screen stays blank. So deciding now would be a good time to upgrade it. Tried all the usual stuff, reseating the hardware, taking stuff out, resetting BIOS, etc. None of that worked.

I need to get a new Motherboard, RAM, Processor and Power Supply. Running a ATi HD4870 which is still in working condition so not wasting money on a new graphics card for the time being, possibly in the future.

Basic list which I decided on was:

Scan.co.uk: Intel CPU Core i7 2600 Sandy Bridge Quad Core Processor - BX80623I72600

Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P P67 Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P, Intel P67 Express, S 1155, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), DDR3 2133, SATA 6Gb/s / RAID, ATX


Scan.co.uk: Corsair Memory XMS3 6GB DDR3 2000 MHz CAS 9 Dual Channel Desktop - CMX6GX3M3B2000C9

Scan.co.uk: Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-600CX 600W Power Supply (PSU)

As far as I know it's all compatible but decided I'd get some input from people around as I've not built a computer in a while.

Got about £600 to spend, from the UK.
