hello everyone i just signed up and as this will be my first really good PC i would like some feedback and input on what ill be buying. i have a budget of £700 - £800. this is what iv'e come up with so far:

GPU - Sapphire Technology AMD Radeon R9 280X 950MHz 3GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI OC VaporX
RAM - Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM XMP
Case - Coolmaster dominator cm 690 ATX mid tower gaming PC case
CPU cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler 130W
Hard Drive - NEW 1TB SATA II 3.5" INTERNAL DESKTOP PC 7200RPM 1000GB HARD DISK DRIVE
PSU - OCZ ZS Series 650W Power Supply 80 Plus Bronze
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H LGA1155 Socket Intel Z77 Express DDR3 ATX Motherboard
CPU - Intel Core i5-3350P Quad Core Processor 3.10GHz S1155 6MB

and that's it minus a few things. Now all of those components are off ebay but that doesn't matter to me,but all of that adds up to around £700, so right around where i want to be. please if anybody has any input regarding those components or any changes i should make please go ahead and can somebody tell me how this will perform with newer games; battlefield 4 crysis 3 etc. and also a heavily modded skyrim with enb and new textures.

thanks

Should have no real problems running those games, crysis 3 is fairly demanding if you turn everything up and even my gtx 780 can't maintain 60fps unless i turn one or 2 things down a bit but bf4 should be great, put everything on ultra and it should be fine at 1080p.

I would maybe stay away from ebay however, I have had a few bad experiences with hardware bought from the sellers there (long return process, poor comunications, misleading auctions etc). check out somewhere like scan.co.uk and you should find their prices to be pretty similar but with a proper aftersales service

thanks for the replies and will take another look and try to avoid ebay, i have really tried to do my homework on this but this is my first time building my own pc so i cant help but be a little nervous before i pull the trigger and buy these parts. so do you think all those parts are compatible and good to go?
