Ok guys give me your honest thoughts please, do you think this is a good build. My budget is £700. This build comes to £690. I am wanting to use the computer for gaming at high settings with at least 50 fps.

Thanks in advance

looks good. get a cpu cooler so you can overclock the cpu a bit... you probably can do with a 600W psu... otherwise looks fine.

I'd rather have a HD 7850 than a GeForce 660Ti for the money at the very least.

Admittedly there is not much in it performance wise however the 7850 still edges it out overall according to the below comparison, but when you factor the price with the 660Ti coming in at an average £210 the 7850 costs £140 and can be overclocked to a 7870 easily, I know because I have one.

Don't get me wrong if you have your heart set on a 660Ti then go for it but value + performance I went with the 7850.

Best solution

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
(good price/performance CPU and 6 threads so good future proofing)

Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+
(great mobo, with non of marketing crap to make it expensive, it have all the things you need, especially with USB bios flashback which will greatly help encase it ships with outdated BIOS cause you can update the BIOS without the need of an older CPU, simply a USB drive and power supply)

Corsair Dominator 8GB (2 x 4GB)
( i dont care about RAM really, 8 GB is good size, if you ask me i like my RAM 100% stable, i am talking about Kingston DDR3 1333 1.5V and 9-9-9-24 timing and single rank per dimm, cause it makes the system really stable and having faster ram will not help cause you already purchased a GPU with dedicated very fast GDDR5 VRAM .... just my 2 cents)

Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
(i have more experince with Western Digital so i cant say recommend or not recommend)

EVGA GeForce GTX 660 TI 2GB Video Card
(hmmm why pay that much and settle for 192-bit memory interference, try finding a video card with 256-bit or more, check this limited offer:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
)

Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case
(a case is case the cheaper the better IMO)

Corsair Builder 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V P
(more than enough)
