Hono how else was I meant to get it in budget with new parts and an sdd matey

The PSU is THE most important component to be fair. Skimping on the PSU is always a no no. It's not the worst PSU choice but I won't ever spec it.

A few penny's cheaper only 1 USB 3.0 port on the front of the case though.

As I need Windows I'm starting to think I'm best off with a 7850 and then xfiring when it starts to fall behind?

How good is a 7850 in terms of high/ultra settings for MMOs and the like?

Thanks

The 7850 is a cracking GPU, I have included the OS and got it down to with in your £800 budget.

Thanks!

If I want to actually overclock my 7850 do I need a better mobo than the z77-d3h?

If I'm looking at future xfire do I need a better than 600-650w PSU?
