Hi, I am building my first gaming PC and would like to know if the components are pretty good and maybe any useful tips for building a PC. The maximum I can spend is £650 and I am aiming to be able to play games like battlefield 3 on medium or high with pretty good fps.

Here is what I might get at the moment:

I have gone for some cheap stuff such as the case and power supple due to my budget but I thought That it would effect the performance much. I am also looking to overclock in the future but if I do I will be replacing and adding a better cooler system and case or anything else whenever I get the money to do that.

If there are any components which I need and have missed out on the list or anything better than I have already then please let me know. Also I tried to keep it within the same company just because it will arrive all together but if you know any cheaper places to buy it then that would be great help.

Thank you!

Really good looking build. Might want to take out the Hard Drive and throw in an SSD 60-128GB unit ($50-100 USD) Huge difference going from moving parts - non moving parts.
