You aren't getting an i5 and high settings in Crysis for 500. If you don't need an OS then you can get a better GPU, but this is the best I can do.

What do you think about them?
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800 / Radeon HD 3870 512 MB

 

[Transmaniacon]

Those cards are like 5+ years old, the 650 Ti will crush them.

 

[ostapenko]

Thank you for help, I really like your build.
Would you suggest to buy case first?
I will buy all parts slowly and I don't know with what to start first.

 

[Transmaniacon]

Computer hardware and their prices changes very often. Intel is releasing Haswell soon, and nVidia is releasing their 700 series GPUs. This is going to affect prices and selections and I would save your money until you can buy everything together. What do you currently have for hardware?

 

[ostapenko]

All what I got for my pc at the moment is keyboard, mouse, also Fan 450 watts and it can go up to 800 watts.
Also at the moment I got £400 what would you recommend to buy first on that cash? and then 1 June ill buy rest of parts

 

[Transmaniacon]

I would just wait a week and buy it all at once. You could buy everything but the GPU now, but don't expect to do much gaming until you get a GPU. It might be beneficial to wait on the GPU as the new 700 series might lower the prices of the 600 series.

 

[ostapenko]

What GPU should I buy?

 

[Transmaniacon]

The one I linked in the build.

 

[ostapenko]

Thank you very much you really help me out.

Oh I also got windows 7 )

 

[Transmaniacon]

If you have Windows 7, then get a GTX 660 2GB instead.

 

[ostapenko]

Ok
