Hi there guys, my brothers asked me to sort out getting his new pc and its been a couple of years since I've built mine and I'm quite busy with uni exams just now so I wanted to check this is a decent build as I sort of just threw it together and don't have enough time to properly check it all out.

So I recently upgraded my graphics card, the old ones (a HD 5770) fine so I said he could have that to cut down the price but it does get quite hot 90s (even 100 once) so I said first I'd try cleaning it out with compressed air (its enclosed so a brush etc. is not possible) and see if it came down if not I said it's probably best if he got a new one instead.

Basically is this build good with either GPU and if my old HD 5770 is not used is the i5 3350 and GTX 650 Ti a good match? Or should I downgrade the CPU to improve the GPU etc?

All looks good. I built something similar to sit next to my tv its a great pc and runs most games on low at 1920x1080 with 30+ fps.
If he wants he can connect it to his tv either way here it is.

The total in pounds on scan.co.uk is 313.
Not sure about delivery though but definatly under budget so wont be a problem. Id say the delivery will be around 15-35 pounds maybe more.
