Well, here is the computer I would build for under £750. Keep in mind, I am an AMD fanboy, but when it comes down to bang for your buck, AMD always pulls through.

COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Thermaltake SMART Series SP-650PCBUS 650W ATX 12V 2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR

AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8320FRHKBOX

CORSAIR Hydro series H50 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

XFX Double D FX-797A-TDBC Radeon HD 7970 Black Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

This comes out to about £720, which gives you enough to also add in a storage drive.

If you don't know how to overclock or you don't want to bother, bump up to the FX-8350

Thermaltake SMART Series SP-650PCBUS 650W ATX 12V 2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Thermaltake power supplies are junk, I'd heavily refrain from purchasing this.

Well, here is the computer I would build for under £750. Keep in mind, I am an AMD fanboy, but when it comes down to bang for your buck, AMD always pulls through.

That may be but Intel *ALWAYS* comes out ahead in every single benchmark for a gaming rig, always.

For that budget I'd suggest this:
