Hi guys after watching many videos on youtube ive decided to build my own gaming rig and leave consoles for good. I was hoping you guys could put together something for me about £700 gonna need everything if its possible. I have an old packard bell pc but dont think anything can be salvaged from it apart from maybe keyboard and mouse.
Thanks in advance guys

Yes, you would get good FPS on DayZ and many other non bad games :p.

Z77 chipset mobo is the best mobo for dropping an i5, if you can get an i5 second hand for £130 once Haswell comes out that would be best.

If you could somehow reuse or perhaps use a TV or something for a monitor, that extra £150 could get you an i5 and then you can up the graphics card to a 7950/get an SSD.

There is still a lot of regulars that have not posted yet :D

However, you will more or less get the same spec with minor differences (RAM, Monitor brand, PSU brand etc)

Most will post the same CPU + Mobo combo with similiar or on par GPU.

I can vouch pretty hard for the 7870 Tahiti w/ a 3220, it runs everything like a treat @1080p.
