I have £110 to spend on my PC and I want to spend it well!

I want:

PC Case (Gaming)
Memory (RAM) DDR2 PC-5300
Cooling stuff (like CPU cooling and memory cooling etc.)
40GB+ HDD
Any other stuff I can fit in...

I know I may not be able to purchase all the things i have said but please help me to get the best deal!

Leave the cooling, unless your overclocking you won't need it.

Hmm OK let's see.

Better cooling is only good if you plan on overclocking. Since you are planning on buying slow RAM, I don't think overclocking is really your thing so I recommend NOT getting better cooling.
Since you probably already have a case, you don't need another. There's really no such thing as a 'gaming' case, unless you mean you want it to light up. I can't recommend anything on that front, you'll have to ask Phil.
So with the remaining amount of money, just get a Seagate hard drive, one of the 7200.10 range with perpendicular recording. Also get your RAM, preferably something like DDR2-667 since it isn't that much more expensive. OCZ or Corsair will do.

I tried to get a corsair link but it was pc5400 not 300.

Thanks but I really want a new case because mine sucks

Thanks for the RAM advice. And thanks Andy.
