Hey man is the i5 better than amd? I might be doing more video encoding than i thought so the more cores the better? And yes i forgot the HDD haha i will probably go for a F3.
 
Haha ok ok i see thanks man for all your help :)

Im still not completly decided tho :/

For example if i was to buy a AMD cpu which is cheaper i could spend more on the gpu?

Stulid's build looks pretty tight, should handle bf3 nicely.

Surely you can drop the disc drive out, save £17. You can find those things lying on the floor.
