Hi their ive just bought:
Silverstone rvo3 case
Corsair 600w modular psu

I want to use it for simulation games and dirt 3 etc and was looking at this as a mobo,cpu,ram an cooler combo
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-110-OE&groupid=43&catid=2384&subcat=2288

Would the psu be enough for it? I want to put a fan controller in and some more fans.
Are their better systems for around that price

I have £800 left to spend on everything that i havent bought yet,thanks Josh

What GPU are you looking at getting?

But ultimately the PSU will be fine.

Motherboard is good, supports the i5 graphics and has a full 16 speed PCI line. The 3570K s a lovely chip and with the 'k' you can overclock it too.

600W Corsair should just about power any card you throw into it unless you want to SLI/XFire.

wait

800 including 280

give me 15 mins

is this including os, monitor, mouse, keyboard etc?

Get the 7850 2GB over the 1GB. 1GB VRAM is seriousily limiting in modern games.

my budget is £1000 and £200 was spent on case and psu,i have a decent mouse and monitor so just keyboard and the rest is needed (including os)
