Building First Budget Gaming Rig.

[Mr.Mccoy]

Hello,
I'm looking to build my first budget gaming rig for about 800£.
The cost has to include the OS, Mouse&Keyboard.

I would like the parts to be from overclockers.co.uk,
I have already come up with a build but i dont know if its any good or the components are compatible with eachother.

If i can get any better parts for the same price tell me, I would like to know if it can run most games on high-max graphics.
P.S I also want an Intel build.

So heres my rig -

I would take a Antec TruePower 550W over a CX600 for gaming.

Think I will sub my GPU and PSU for the ones you guys said, is there anything else I can change to make this a decent gaming rig.
P.S. do you think this could play Battlefield: Bad Company 2&3 maxed out?

Thanks.

Get a good keyboard and mouse, a Logitech MX518 and microsoft sidewinder X4.

You want peripherals that respond to your input in the heat of battle.

Could I afford them with my 800£ budget?

They're roughly £50 both

No, £29.99 for the keyboard and £25 for the mouse.

You would have to cut back too much with the spec to get them in.

At least get a Logitech keyboard - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-136-LG&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=2

Ok so i guess ill just have to stick with some cheap keyboard and mouse then, but ill probably try and save up for a razer mouse and keyboard.
