they both sound good to me !!! much better than goin out and buying a system !!
will homefront be comming out for pc if so will defo be getting that might jus get rid of xbox completely !!!
cheers guys you have been a great help we funds as they are will have to buy in 2 steps i think !! cant wait to get some items brought and assembled do u think assembly will be easy or difficult ?
i have read that maybe i may need a more powerful PSU what do u guys think ?

no the psu included in the build is more than enough even for the most powerfull single gpu's available, dont be fooled into thinking you need anything more than 500-600w, usually 650w is enough for crossfire nowdays, so dont worry!
and as for building, it often gets referred to on here as "easy as building lego" most things only fit one way, there is also a build guide on the forums, and if you ever get stuck just ask everyone on here. we are all more than happy to help.

its a good job i love lego then !! well i have done a bacis pc course at college so i aint a total novice as long as all leads r there only thing i will need i think is thermal paste and a strap so i dont blow anything before i start assembly !!
well i think win7 is the best bet !! other os like vista and xp is dated and everyone seems to be on win 7 now !

you dont need thermal paste, it comes pre applied on the retail cooler
i have an anti static strap but i never use it, ive built 9 comps now and never had a problemo

imo, with the sort of games you are mentioning, a quad core would be best, but not essential,(i'm thinking of cod series, especially in the future)
If you could get w7 that way, it would be great!
But the gtx 460 768mb isn't a bad card by any means

ok well this will be perfect.
That will do.
There is a cheaper motherboard here - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-424-AS&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1481 so £10 saved.
And a cheaper 6870 here - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-240-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 so £15 more saved.
so the above build becomes £425.
