AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
MSI 990FXA-GD65 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card
Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Total price is around £670. You could get a 750w PSU first and then this would allow you to add a second GPU for SLI/Crossfire

Hope that is of some help

thanks for the list ill keep that for when i get more money to build it , but for now i have all the parts that i listed and just need a psu , as you suggested a 500w corsair for a more powerful rig than mine im guessing a 700w will be more than enough for me :)  thanks
