That's going to take you way beyond your £1000 budget then. Why not get this local shop to source the components and help you choose? Isn't that their job?
 
"local" computer shops are often worse than loan sharks! If you are sure you do not wish to build it yourself then i suggest strongly you buy a prebuild from OCUK. I can bet you good money the build will be much more professional and very tidy and organised if you go with OCUK. iv build my own systems with parts from OCUK and iv also had 2 mates buy prebuilds both came fantastically built and fully working.
 
Mums fine with paying the shop to put it all together and i've heard good things about the shop and they fixed my old laptop so i trust them, would it be ok if i posted another system specs and you guys could help me decide which would be better ?

Why not let the shop choose and order the parts? I assume they know what they're doing if there building it, no?

Hex cores are no good for gaming. Stick with a 2500k, it blows everything out the water in regards to games. The 2600k is not a hex core as some have stated. It's also a quad core, however it has HT. Which has no advantage in games.

for your budget you want a quality P67+2500K. I doubt you will use the features of a Z68 board. Unnecessary really, if it's just for gaming.

Yes, Intel CPU's work with both ATI and Nvidia GPU's and vice versa. Your friends are right about that at least.

Why would you pay for parts from one shop, (OcUK) then take the parts from shop A to shop B just so they can put it together. OcUK will do a far better job of putting the parts together than any local PC shop.

Kind of like going to Asda for bread and then heading to tesco for the milk. One shop does all. Keeps costs down. It just makes sense. :rolleyes:

Murray already suggested it. Add in a 570, this will take you to bang on budget, change left over for a mix up.

It will destroy 95% of games. Will last you years and you will be the envy of your friends. You wont need to wait on the shop spending 5 days building it. It will be cable managed, the lot. Plug it in and start installing your STEAM games... job done.
 
I highly doubt it's a revision one card. Think of the money saved from paying the guys in the shop to do it. It's not really £1k maximum is it.... it's £975... otherwise it would have been in budget. You don't tell people a budget, then when it's met, you say... "but it's too close to the budget." As that's the general idea, to get as much for your money as possible.

If it is indeed a budget of £975... stick with a 6950... good all round card.
