This build is cheaper and will even run some games on Ultra - you'll also get a higher overclock with this cooler.

to answer your question, yes, and then some. Should get high/ultra at 1080p on some games. Newest games like Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 you will get med/high.

The GTX 760 is a better performer than the 7850, so if you could put the two together (the 8350 + GTX 760), you would have a nice gaming machine.

The 8350 is only a shade behind a i5 3570 in gaming, and is faster at stock than the 6300. Yes, you can OC the 6300 to 8350 speeds, but then you can OC the 8350 past that again. 8350 has an extra module, so if multitasking, and/or video editing is a consideration, Id take that for the price difference.

i wasnt planning on doing any editing but for some of the next gen games i thought that they might be able to uttilise the extra cores.

the 7850 2gb is a good card, but would be the suggested minimum for smooth 1080p + gaming. It's slightly dated now, but is a great performer, and great over clocker too. Personally id pick the GTX760 or a 7870/7950 for good gaming.

the build above that sophiebeth has outlined is a good build. If you take out the memory, the price would be £530 or so. Which is right around your level. If you had a few more pounds, I would say put an 8350 in instead of the 6300, but that system is still a good one.

yeah I mentioned a 7870 above. If you can get the XE version that's a bonus. Good card, and more performance than a 7850, by about 10-20%
