I have a new machine too - bits and pieces put together but considering the budget cost it's pretty good, with 13,700 3DMark06 marks.
CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz OC'd to 3.63GHz (£48)
RAM - 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 OC'd to 1333MHz (£32)
GPU - AMD 4870 1GB with Akasa Vortexx Neo cooler (£74, second hand)
Case - Antec 300 with 2x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 120mm fans, 1x Zalman ZM-81 120mm side panel fan (£49 for case, £32 for fans)
Mobo - MSi 770-C45, overvolted (£46)
SSD - Corsair P64 SSD, TRIM support enabled (birthday present from housemates, they paid ~£160)
HDD - Seagate 7200.11 750GB (I won this in a TF2 competition at one of my uni's LAN events, but worth about £42)
PSU - Corsair CX400W (£39)
Monitor - AG Neovo 19" (is my housemate's monitor as he has a 32" Samsung LCD TV which he uses, so I'm just borrowing it)
Other - Dell DJ422 keyboard (£16), MS Basic Optical Mouse (£6), Steelseries medium mousepad (won this in a CS:S uni LAN tourney), Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (90 day TechNet trial, so I just reinstall and reactivate when it expires, so also free)
Total cost to me ~£342 (€390)
