I am planning to try a build in a little while but I don't know many places in the UK where I can obtain the hardware and items needed for building myself.

So are there some of the UK members that could please advise me of places to buy the gear and at reasonable prices?:)

Yes mate, I use Aria, Overclockers, Scan and Ebuyer. All have a great choice of parts and I have not had any issues with them.

Add Novatech to that list. If the OP is going to overclock, I'd suggest a pre clocked mobo bundle from Aria or Overclockers.
