New PC for 2013 Games for £400/$650

[Tyler Durden]

Would like to build my first PC for gaming this year, want to run the new DayZ Standalone, Arma 3, Metro: Last Light and Battlefield 3 for a maximum build price of around £400 or $600, should run well with about 40fps.

Saw this list on an earlier post and am considering it: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zL0s

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Should meet your goals at 1080.

Some parts there don't have the price, it will be more than 400£.
But it has a good cpu and card.

I could go £500 probably including OS, but need to save some for a keyboard & mouse too. If I stuck with the CPU & Card what motherboard and other stuff would be the best but cheapest options?

This is the cheapest possibility with the i5+ a 7870 : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zMXB

You sir, are an absolute legend. Thanks a lot, this helps out a *** tonne, It will amount to only about £530 including a keyboard & mouse, and that should be fine. Thanks again!
