Im so far behind the tech these days I dont know where to start. Need the above, budget is less than £100. Best bang for buck. Future proof would be nice, but not essential (as in soon-to-be-obsolete socket series). I am used to AMD builds, dont know anything about Intels, as in ive mucked about with every BIOS setting going for an AMD system, last time I tried this on an intel it went pop so I havent done it again

Links please

Amd 7850



AM2/3 Motherboard


Cpu can be overclocked to 3.2ghz with stock cooler and have no problems.
Motherboard takes am3 aswel so you could get a better cpu in the future but for £100 it wont be very future proof but its pretty good value for money I think.
I have something similar which a HD4670 Graphics card which is a £50 card so its pretty low but its been more then enough for me, cost me about £200 to build it and its been perfect for gaming, Fallout 3, L4d2, Red faction Guerrilla, CS:S, All I really use it for.
