£200 all in.

Does that look ok - I got the right sort of memory?

Anyone do a 1gb/250gb/dvdrw box cheaper?
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

what you using it for?  if you arent gaming then get something with decent onboard GFX.  

also get 800Mhz RAM.

Internet/homework - its for a mate. Upgrading from a celery with 256mb memory.

would think so,  seems like a good base to work from.  Those little 3600s are a nice piece of kit for OCers as well im told.  

Other opinions may differ, but at the moment AMD are definatly the best bang for buck on the lower end of the range.

But they charge silly del.

Apparently you can chunk orders but you have to leave a reasonable length of time between them. If theyre 2mins apart theyll notice.

Id suggest changing the mobo for an ati/nvidia based one. Its shouldnt cost much more (a few quid) but is definately worth it. VIA chipsets are just generally wrong.
