advice making new computer

His is more since I didn't include keyboard, mouse and speakers. You said you have keyboard/mouse already so I didn't see the point in adding them and for speakers do you want 2.1 or 5.1 sound?

Either is good (on the PSUs) yeah only £10, so whichever really. I just prefer XFX but the Antec is great too.

Main points would be:
you don't need 16GB or RAM
You can get a great monitor for that budget, the one I specced has some great reviews.

The 7970 is the best you can get atm, and it seems you can afford one!

The cooler you picked, the Noctua is great, I've heard great things about it. You will be able to get some good overclocks with that!

Either spec is good, if you wanted to get mine a bit cheaper then the Antec PSU is £10 cheaper:

Also you didn't meant a DVD drive in your OP, so if you don't need one thats another £20!

Hehe maybe you are right as for keyboard i bought a Logitech G19 Keyboard with Colour LCD Display along with Sharkoon FireGlider 7 Button Laser Gaming Mouse - 3600DPI with Adjustable weights for the mouse

Hence why I thought he doesn't need them?

Didn't see that :rolleyes:

Without the keyboard and mouse this is nicely just under budget!

totally amazing comps well thank you for your help guys you really got me a better system for the same price and i mix matched the comps you both made into one ;P
 
just wondering if gtx 560 ti's 1.25 gb would out perform the 3gb 7970 though
and if the power supply would still be the same or need upgrading to 850w if they are better

The GTX560Ti 448 ed are basically cut down GTX570s, can't do an SLI comparison but I'd get the 7970 for the extra RAM, and then if you ever want to you can get another later and you'll have a system better than all of those!

As above, also SLI means more power, heat, noise.
(Don't get me wrong, if you want to SLI it'll be good I'm sure but the 7970 is what I'd recommend)
 
final choices were

cpu:2500k
case: haf x full tower
cpu fan:noctua d14
motherboard:Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P Z68
speakers:Logitech Z506 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers - 75W RMS
additional case fans: x BitFenix Spectre Pro 230mm Blue LED1 x BitFenix Spectre Pro 140mm Blue LED Case Fan
disk drive:LiteOn iHAS124-19 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive
monitor:LG D2342P-PN LCD TFT 3D Ready 23" HDMI Monitor
ram:Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V Non-ECC Unbuffered
gpu:Sapphire HD 7970 3GB GDDR5
ssd:OCZ 60GB Vertex 3 SSD
hdd:Samsung 320GB SpinPoint F4 Hard Drive
psu:Corsair TX 850W V2 PSU

psu went for 850w so i can overclock my ram cpu and gpu and still ahve a little room to add things in the future

and as for ssd i just wanted to get that one for the 5 second win 7 bootup time :P
 
hopeing to upgrade next in maybe 2 years time minimum well thats what i tell myself anyway but i know i wont be able to resist those gpu's in crossfire in 2 months time lol
