Hi I want to build a gaming pc and my budget is £550
These is the system I currently want : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1evHn
I want to play games at 1920x1080 and not too bothered about detail settings as long as I can play on medium. I was wondering if there are better systems in my budget?

Thanks

A bit more gaming performance, still with a good psu (yes it will provide enough power), and good ram, but those changeups allow for a 7770ghz, a much better gpu. you could try to find a cheaper mobo, and put that money towards a 7850, but a good mobo is nice to have. Same goes with the case.
