Ok so as the title states I am planning an i3 build. So far i've got the following:
Case - Casecom 6788 £26.00 (This doesn't change)
CPU - i3 530 £94
Motherboard - ASUS P7P55D iP55 £111
RAM - OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) £90
Cooler - Scythe Zipang 2 £45
TOTAL: £366
Now I will use the current hard drive, and graphics card. And I already have a new PSU on the way (Corsair HX520), however I am looking at reducing the overall price, looking at changing the motherboard, but no clue what is what these days so I am a little out of my depth. Anyone give me any ideas?
EDIT:
Revised list
