Need advice on building/buying a gaming PC for around £800

[moee]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and was just wondering if you guys or girls would help me!


I am familiar with building a computer so that's not the issue, the problem is that I want the most value for money. My budget is 800 pounds, (U.K currency).

I think I have a few core ideas that I want with my system.

CPU: Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge) - I think this i5 puts to shame to nearly all i7's.
GPU: GTX 660 Ti or better would be great
RAM: 8GB's of DDR3 (overclock or with higher clockspeed/lower voltage would be nice)
HDD(1TB7200pm will be good enough)
Sound(5.1 at least)
OS: I need Win7 (home prem)


Ether way, I don't honestly mind if you guys find a bundle that comes with similar components that is ether in a package or is already build, but thats the max budget I have. Lower would be even better as I want a new monitor (which I'll later purchase I guess).

Thanks everyone

You don't need the sound card - drop that and get a better power supply, the CX430 isn't the best PSU that Corsair makes. Get the XFX one instead.
