Ok so I kinda borked my PC last night when I tried the EZ wizard to adjust my DRAM on my bios, needless to say my rig wouldn't start up and kept shutting down =B. In the end I had a US friend who's retired from the military and now spends his time building rigs for friends and folk in general with his free time, he's helped me construct a good build for those new to PC gaming with two builds in total, one in GBP and the other in USD:

GBP: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Xy4qCJ
USD:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HTJ8pg

Both just about go over the £$400 limit but it's what it is for entry level, the builds you guys have so far could easily count for entry/mid level and I wouldn't think we need to create enthusiast builds just yet (don't wanna scare off newbs to high price points =P).

I'll post the specs of your build to make it easier to see:

	Total:	£437.97 £462,95		$471.33 ???

The build doesn't look bad, but it lacks several parts that we agreed to include like keyboard & mouse and the OS. And the CPU doesn't have a price.

*Edited to add the new parts*

Also, I know you have problems with your own build, but asking for help? I'm disappointed .
