Hey guys, I want to build/ buy a decent pc that would run games like bf3 on high/ultra graphics. But my budget is £500-ish. I was thinking of buying this pc: http://outlet.euro.dell.com/Online/SecondaryInventorySearch.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dfh&cs=ukdfh1&puid=80588ac2

And then upgrading the graphics card and the psu if needed. the graphics card i was thinking of was this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-DirectCU-Graphics-Express-Technology/dp/B008RW3WTY or the gtx660.


But if you have any other better recommendations, then feel free to post them here.

And the monitor i will get it separately, around 18"-21" inches and other accessories.
