Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone could help me pick out components for a computer I would like to use solely for gaming. I have a budget of around £550.

These are some specs I would like to have:
4GB of RAM, 600W PSU, nVidia Graphics Card, 1TB Hard Drive, CPU at 3GHz or higher.

Im trying to fit these specs around my budget to build a whole computer so I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Thanks
John

a 6870, or a GTX560. You get Deus Ex with a 6870, and you will need to downgrade the motherboard.
