Hey all.
So since my laptop crashed out on me two months ago I've decided to finally build my own computer. I'm a uni student doing computer games programming and I game heavily as you might expect, so I want something that can handle that. I've done a fair amount of reading and still have almost no idea what I'm doing but this is what I've managed to piece together so far.
In terms of processor I'm looking at this
http://www.ebuyer.com/349029-intel-core-i5-3570k-3-4ghz-socket-1155-6mb-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80637i53570k
can't really afford an i7 and I figure most of the work is done by the graphics card anyway, so I'll spring for a fancy one of those instead.

Again, no idea really what I'm doing here, just going on the reccomendation of a friend.
Graphics card
Something along the lines of these, though I have no clue, all suggestions welcome.

Power supplies, cases, RAM, not sure what to do here yet though from what I've read these don't matter so much.
Things to know
I don't need an OS as I already have one.
My total budget is about £700-800
Don't need a screen
Help very much appreciated.
Thanks
