Only Problem is i havent chosen a PSU or GPU, i need to get both of these while staying within a £700 (max) Budget, Games i want to play: BF3,BO2,AC3,Far Cry3.ALL ON ULTRA (with the exception of Far Cry, i understand thats impossible with my Budget =D)

And before anybody asks: Am i buying a moniter? No. Mouse/Keyboard?A mouse (ONLY IF WITHIN BUDGET, I have my eyes on the Logitech MX518 Place of Origin: UK

This is a very solid build that will do everything you want it to no problem.

I like tiny voices's build because you won't be able to get both a good GPU and the i5-3570K at that budget. You may also consider the HD 7950 now that they come with free games: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-xfx-radeon-hd-7950-double-d-5000mhz-gddr5-gpu-800mhz-dvi-dvi-hdmi-mdp

Max settings in pretty much any games at 1080p.
