That keyboard is seriously holding you back, that extra £50 + £10 can get you a 7850 which just steam roles over a 7770.

Also lots of problems with corsair PSU's lately, too bad everything else is out of stock but a XFX or Be Quite would be a better choice.

he needs a keyboard and has chosen that one also the psu, there arent any xfx psu instock atm and the bequiets are more expensive
 
With such a limited budget, tell him to get a keyboard at a later date. He will regret the decision when he cant play a game that you are because of his poor decisions earlier on.

This, like I said, a 7850 is going to steam roll over a 7770. Also the 7770 1gb varm is going to heavily limit the gaming at 1080p.

He is going to ruin his gaming experience by buying such an expensive keyboard, you can pick up cheap ones that are good for £10-15.
 
Slightly cheaper.

Closest I can get to £400 with the keyboard, a faster GPU and an OK CPU. Although you do drop to a 500GB HDD.

I would say drop the keyboard, get a 7850 like others have.
 
well i have said to him and showed him some benchmarks of the 7850 and the 7770 and he's considering upping the budget so he can fit in the 7850 and the keyboard, just waiting to hear back from him
 
I've had that keyboard it's not worth the money, the fan that comes included is laughable and the backlighting is poor.

The gigabyte force k3 is a lot better and is 30 quid.

430w corsair PSU is fine, i have this in my budget build and it works fine.

7850 gpu would be recommended though. for the money its a great budget card and plays games easily.
