Hello, I'm mainly looking for some ideal components. What I've already got:

Corsair 500W PSU
Case
DVD-drive
HDD

Computer will be used mainly for gaming, thanks.
 
Do you want the last parts to make a tower?

Need an OS?

Does the case take a ATX sized board?

The drives are all SATA?
 
I would remove the link, that's a competitor and is against the rules. On the other hand I can't tell if the case supports ATX or mATX only, how many expansion slots are there at the back?

gaming.

I'd roll with what shadow boxer specced.

Quite a few options though.

Another one.

1 x Sapphire HD 7850 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £199.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99

Get CPU cooler later, I rate the M4 (I have two).



Over budget, but nice card.

670 EX OC needs 6 pin and 6+2 pin power. Cheaper 670 should do too, but needs 2x6pin. Can drop the case to a BitFenix Merc to get within budget.

A 7850 takes one 6pin connector. If you have a Corsair CX500, that's the card you can use. 670 too demanding. A HX520 will take a 670, not sure about rigging it for a 670 EX OC.

Nice build Shadow,

Could chnge the case to this that is essentially the same but on TWO, saving £11 (which could go to the M4 olivier suggested, as it's a better SSD)
