just converted your British pounds to US dollars .. so am assuming it 1289 $

CPU : Intel i5 3750 or I7 3770K what ever is friendly with your budget , 219 $ vs 329 $ (both are almost same in gaming performance but i7 is better in rendering and multitasking )

Motherboard: As-rock z77 extreme 4 mid range decent mobo --134 $
Corsair xm 2x4 GB 1600 mhz --- 20$ per stick
Cooler master 700 watt PSU ---- 89-99 $
1 TB HDD --- 89$
NZXT Phantom case full tower --- 119 $ (you can save money from the case if you don't want costly case)
GPU : Nvidia Gtx 680 --around 490 $ (the lowest price you can get ) - 540 $

hope that helps

Prices would be different where he is, so it would be better to check the stores that can actually ship to him than converting the budget to dollars then using US prices as reference.

I've never seen a $229 i7-3770K, I would've grabbed that over an i5 that costs $10 less any day. :lol:

+1 on the Extreme4.

Get G.Skill or Corsair VENGEANCE RAM.

The 680 is a very overpriced card that performs too close with the 670. It's not worth buying just yet.

i7's price was a typing error .. for extreme 4 check newegg.com plus I never said it's accurate price list
and Nvidia's every card is over priced .. should we never buy a GPU from Nvidia then ? sorry but I find gtx680 better then 7970 ATI ...

opinion are like butts .. everyone's got one .. you can put your opinion but don't mess with mine ..

Okay hothead, I didn't say it was inaccurate either, all I was trying to say that it would help him a lot more (efficiently) if the store and prices you gave were where he is.

Also hun, stop overreacting. It's a well-known fact here or any other good tech site that the 680 is an overpriced card. I didn't say it was a bad card nor did I say every nVidia card is overpriced.

You are also entitled to your own opinion and I didn't take that from you so I don't know where you're coming from with that last statement. If you can't stand some small criticisms, then maybe the internet isn't the place for you.

^Where the hell did that come from? That wouldnt even run BF3 at 30FPS lol.

Anyways,@OP, get the 7970 GHz Edition if you can. If not the regular 7970 should be fine.
Would you want to overclock or crossfire/SLI in the future?
