Ello people 
I have the task of building my friend a cheap gaming system. He wants to spend £400 but can push £450 if completely necessary. I have thrown together some parts which I am thinking about using but wanted some input.
His requirements are pretty easy:
"I want to play 1080p at good graphics"
So my thoughts were:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £95.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £83.99
1 x Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £59.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £49.99
