IM looking at building a PC for gaming- But am not looking at spending preferably over £600

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/miniyanto/saved/38GB

So far this is the best and cheapest build ive found. But it is missing an SSD and the graphics card may a bit overkill (im not fussed as long as it runs 90% of things on High or medium)
any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

A 270X is the same as a 7850, just a bit newer. It should be a lot cheaper, and will run most games at least at medium 1080p.
Maybe get a cheaper case, shed a few pounds off the CD drive, maybe get a bit cheaper HDD, and a bit less RAM (6GB for starters?), and you save enough for at least a 120GB SSD.

Fit in the SSD. Need to change a lot though. Other then that you can overclock, the 280X will run most games right now on Ultra with playable FPS.
