I'm telling you that Ebay and sniping auctions is an excellent way to get decent hardware for a cheap price.
The motherboard was sold as faulty, all it needed was the bios being upgraded and it works perfectly fine.
I already had the PSU from my former system, same with HDD, Ram I got from Amazon during the boxing day sales, same with the case so that was 75% off for the ram and around 55% for the case.
Cables need tidying up but as it stands, the cooling I have is good enough that the RAM is 5*C lower than the room temperature.
