A GTX560tti 448 is a GTX570 with a few tweaks/bits cut of it, I used a GTX570 at 1080p to eat games like BF3 etc.

If i was going with the 560ti with the i3 could you please have a guess at what the framerate would be on ultra and on low (high) in crysis 2 as this is the game i play the most and if i know the framerate for that i could probably work it out for the rest of my games. Also is this power supply any good: Antec High Current Gamer HCG-400 - Power supply ( internal ) - ATX12V 2.3/ EPS12V 2.91 - AC 100-240 V - 400 Watt - active PFC

Or would i not be wise to go for a cheap power supply (as i think i could save a bit more money there) what wattage will i need for everything

Splash out on a 3570k if you can. overclocking is piece of cake on them, that'll cpu will last a good 4/5 years.

The Antec 400w is good, but not enough ommphh for the spec.

Please don't skimp on the PSU quality and try and use a 800w PSU that cost you a tenner from the local market.

The Antec High Current Gamer 520W modular is a great PSU (made by Seasonic).

These are good also,

Yeah never skimp on the psu, buy cheap buy multiple times with psus. :p

Get a decent one with a nice amount of headroom of say 600 watts and then if you get another upgrade itch you can get a more powerful gpu for example.

A good PSU will last years and years.
