what resolution is your monitor?

If it is lower than 1080p, one of the new Richland trinity builds would be good and cheap. Also will you be overclocking?

My current resolutions is 1280x1024.
I will not be overclocking.
Also my currents graphics card is nvidia geforce fx 5200
my processor is intel pentium 4
Thanks for quick reply
 
To be honest, if you plan to stay at that resolution a new trinity build would be very cheap and the money you save can go towards an SSD. What about your memory? How much memory and is it DDR3?

Dont go fx 4 core, it will really struggle on crysis because it is CPU intensive. The 560ti is a little outdated. I will do a trinity build and a intel build. The trinity has GPU xfire with the APU.

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI A85XA-G65 AMD A85X Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £85.99
1 x Asus HD 7750 V2 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics card £79.99
1 x TeamGroup Xtreem LV 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C10 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (TXD38G2400HC10QDC01) £59.99
1 x XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.99
Total : £287.96 (includes shipping : £10.00).



OCuk dont stock the 6800k yet, but it will be around an extra 120 pounds to this build.


The intel build i recommend, if you don't mind a dual core is this:
YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ Nexuiz, Sleeping Dogs & Dirt Showd (GX-100-GI) £129.95
1 x Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £92.99
1 x Gigabyte H77-D3H Intel H77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £80.99
1 x XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.99
1 x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU) £43.99
Total : £409.91 (includes shipping : £10.00).



Cant say for sure which will perform better because i havnt seen any benchmarks with 6800k + a ATI 7750 xfire compared to an I3. The better build is probably the I3 build in most cases, because not all games like the APU xfire. However if you eventually overclock, the Intel build wont go far, where as the new Trinitys are incredible clockers considering what they are and will probably edge ahead.

Motherboard is cheaper and allows for overclocking if upgrading in future

God i must be going blind. I was pretty sure OCuk stocked it because i saw it on the forum a few days ago, but i just couldn't see it. I say, go intel on this one. That 7850 will have no problem coping. I did the trinity, thinking i might come out cheap enough to spec a 1080p monitor, but i was a little under, so i added the GPU for onboard crossfire.
