Will this PC be able to play games on ultra/high settings? I mean games like Battlefield 3, Arma II, GTA IV, Crysis 3 etc. It will also be used for lightweight video editing and small Google Sketchup projects. Here's the link...

No competitor linking. Thank you.

Im not sure if the power supply is ok but it looks like it will do.

My budget is already been stretched by £100
 
I have a very similar spec'd PC except only one 7850. I have Crysis 3 & BF3 and it plays both those perfectly, I'm not fussed about ultra graphics but I do get 100-120FPS+ in BF3 on mostly low and 80-100 on Crysis 3, again on low. I'd imagine two of them will do a very good job.

I'd recommend a bigger SSD and get the games loaded on there too, makes loading so much quicker.
 
Seriously buy from ocuk - easier for rma if anything goes go wrong and their service is second to none. Also for that amount of cash I'd be looking at an i5 3570k build

I would remove that link because it has Overclocker competitors on it. ;)

This. That and some of the competitors on there are awful. The customer service and RMA process is dreadful for atleast one of them! Bought from one a few weeks ago; the first GPU arrived bent, so I sent it back (with rubbish customer service), took almost 2 weeks to get the second card, this one was dead on arrival so I'm having to send it back again (not emailed them yet, going to be fun)!
 
1)That power supply does not have enough pci connectors for crossfire (although you could use molex to pci)
2)An 8320 will save £30 and will oc to the same ghz as the 8350
3)1600mhz ram will be fine and save you a bit of money
4)the money saved on the components above,will allow you to get a 120gb ssd,so you can put some games on it,as well as the os and some programs
5)a 7950 might be a better choice than 2 7850's as it will run cooler and quieter and use less power and you will still get great frame rates in games on high and ultra settings
6) Personally i would go with the grade b MSI 990XA-GD55 for £70 at ocuk

HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) £239.99

Could you find me just a PSU that will work no problem for this build please? it has to be under £120 :D
 
As mentioned above its well worth buying the thing from OcUk, If your confident putting it all together yourself I'd pop this in the general hardware section. You'll get some good advice in there on a build and all the help you need setting it up.
 
Imo you should ditch crossfire/sli and AMD option, money spent elsewhere on the system will serve you better for near enough the same total. :)



Also thread should have been started in general hardware section. ;)
