Slightly over budget, but managed to get a GTX 670 in there.

International shipping on the CPU is 15£ , so i guess that the i5-3570k would be better , being even cheaper .
The RAM is the same as the LP version , but with the lower heat sinks right ?
The 670 with international shipping will be £339.98 , that being I can get this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0082FIW96/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i4?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0P2M514N10VBGCJ7YSFS&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294

The case from amazon is better to , because they have free shipping to Portugal and it is the same price.
The DVD Driver I'm not worried , but with the 670 , there is no ssd , and I need somthing to put Win7 and that shizz .

In that case, get your build, but with a 7850 instead of a 6950.

I've seen some benchmarks , is the 7850 worth 70€ more ? The difference seems very small.

 

[Merueth]

:O, go with the 6950 then, where I live it's a $40 difference, which it is worth. I don't think it's worth 70€ though, so stick with the 6950.
