Help with this spec please :-)

Hi all,

I'm closing to actually ordering this build but I am getting very confused from different opinions. The plan is to have an i5 2500k system with a great graphics card that can handle mw3/bf3 etc.

My current situation to clear a few points up is I have my old SATA drive and Optical drive that I can transfer over that is not an issue, I currently use a dual-monitor set-up and the resolution my main screen is that I game on is 1600x900.

I've been told many things about the PSU/motherboard and the greatest opinion is on the graphics card where for my resolution supposedly that the 6950 1gb is sufficient, however I was considering x-fire 2 x 6850 as my budget will be up to a max of £800. But really I wanted to get your take on this build and if you were to be in my position what build would you optimally choose?

why are you creating a new thread every few days(first on the 9th, then 11th now 14th)?

stulid has already speced you the best spec for your money, just add a ssd to it (as I believe it didn't have one) if you can go to £800. you could change the card from 570 to a 2gb 6950 if you wanted(NOT the 1gb). if you want option of sli/xfire then change mb to the z68xp-ud3(£110) and the psu to the 750w version(£67)
