What I tried to post in the last post was....
I would go for the 1155 processor as it is vastly better than anything at the moment (even with the slight problem which is being ironed out as we speak)
But get generic memory (just as good for a cheap system and for a few quid less) and a less good graphics card as its cheaper to upgrade those later for cheap.
And priced this up at £303.

Fair enough, I'm only going by what I've read etc. I don't know much about the Sandy Bridge chipset other than the problem in Dave posted in the other thread

They are brilliant chips Si, if the slight problem is ironed out.
They are very very quick and fantastic at multitasking, so much so I was going to sell my I7 and get one of the 1155 i5 chips as a replacement, that was until I saw they can't run PCI-E 16x + 16x they run at 16x + 4x, which is a shame.
