a 5830 would bring you £17 over budget http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-238-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1711

Unless your planning on overclocking I think the stock cooler will be fine, as long as he doesn't mind the noise under load.

Stick with the Titan tbh, especially during the summer those AMD stock coolers are noisy ********.

hes going to be overclocking so ill stick with the titan , how much performance gain is there with the 5830 ?

10 - 20%, a reasonable amount.

I cannot see your posted image its blocked, but for a friend i'd get one of the pre-built bundles... a lot less trouble...

building for me is fun and its quite enjoyable so i dont mind and it saves a few pennies which can matter on tight budgets like this one
