Hey there,

I'm building a machine roughly around the £750 mark w/o monitor.

Here is the AMD build

I could swap in the i5 3570 and the 670 and it comes out at almost exactly the same price.

I'll be gaming a lot on this machine, multiplayer fps' and rts', and will also be using things like photoshop and lightroom.

Any recommendations on which would be the better option?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Would it be worth trying the 7970 GHz edition (same price as 680)?

Why the haswell may i ask? Just for the power consumption? Power consumption is not a consideration for me.

Just found a 7970 GHz edition for around 270 which is on par with the 680's price.
