Hi,

I am looking at building a new system for gaming. I will be re-using my case and current Corsair Builder series 500W PSU.

Anything you would change or anything I have forgotten?

I am at my budget with that, but would be willing to spend a small amount more if it were the opinion that it would make a large difference...

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice.
 
I would get this Personally:
YOUR BASKET
1 x VTX3D HD 7950 X-Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Sleeping Dogs PC Game £239.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x Samsung 128GB SSD 830 Desktop Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost - (MZ-7PC128D/EU) £89.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02050) £83.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £81.98
1 x Thermalright True Spirit 120 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/1155/1156/AM2/AM3/FM1) £24.98
1 x OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £13.99
Total : £721.92 (includes shipping : £0).


You can use the money saved from not getting a bundle to get a 7950 instead. If you want to save slightly more money I would get this: Gigabyte 7870 OC Windforce 3X
For £18 more you could also get a better cooler on the 7950: Gigabyte 7950 Windforce 3X
 
OK thanks mickyflinn that looks good.

Also thanks tjlld that does look interesting, my reason for buying bundle was for saving hassle of overclocking myself, but now you post that I am tempted.

Only problem with what you've posted is there's no RAM (unless I'm just not seeing it). If I stuck with that build and added RAM I'd be over-budget but depending how much over I still may consider it...
