I am planning on building my own pc ive purchased a gpu and case allready as i was just going to upgrade my current one but decided against it and to sell my old parts onto a friend of mine to put towards the new build.
but currently a company ( not sure if were allowed to put names on here might be advertising) is selling

for £480 is it worth it? i already have a case i have a 500 gb hdd dont really need 2 tb.

iv'e also looked on another site i can get

650W Cooler Master GX 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply

MSI B75A-G43 Gaming Intel B75 (Socket 1155) ATX Motherboard

for £420 not sure if the psu will be enough tho due to it being a single volt rail and in the comments below they say that its borderline for a 6970 :S
currently have a 500w ocz running i5 650, hd 7850 gb ram

Please help if you know of a better deal or better parts to buy i am all ears but my budget is about £500. thankyou
 
The first 480# kit is much superior.
Better cpu The 3570K is overclockable, and will perform better for games than a 3770.
The Z77 motherboard allows overclocking.
Antec psu's are better quality than Coolermaster.
a 2 x 4gb kit allows dual channel operation. 1 x 8gb does not.

That said, I would wait until June and buy a haswell 4670K cpu and a Z87 based motherboard.
And.. I would build using a SSD; you will not regret it. 120gb at least, 240gb if you can.
