I have two builds to choose from and my budget is a maximum of £400. (I have a copy of Windows 7 and a HD monitor already)

Preferably I'd really like to go for the first build but I'm not sure if that AMD Phenom will bottleneck the powerful GTX 560 Ti? Thanks for the help.

This first AMD build:


AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black 3.4GHz (Quad-Core)

MSI 760GM-E51 Micro ATX AM3

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Seagate Momentus Thin 320GB 2.5" 7200RPM

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB

Sony DDU1681S-0B DVD/CD Drive

Micro ATX Case

500W PSU

The build comes to just £388



The second more expensive Intel Build:


Intel Core i5-3450 3.1GHz (Quad-Core)

MSI B75A-G43 ATX LGA1155

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM

XFX Radeon HD 7770 1GB

Sony DDU1681S-0B DVD/CD Drive

ATX Case

500W PSU
