Couple of items I would change are the hard drive to the Samsung F3 500GB or even the 1tb version.

The PSU can be dropped to 600w ~

i want extra power and its only like 5£ more as for the samsung done and added extra psu cable extenders cos i was hearing you need them for it reccomend any other modular psu s without this problem thanks

I would advise you to have a look at the Samsung SpinPoints instead of your WD Blue.

The GPU is almost just a matter of taste. If you need one right now, the 5850 is not a bad bet. If you have been at least somewhat diligent in looking up what you want I am sure you have come across countless threads debating the virtues of the 460 or 470s of the world in comparison. The 5850 is a smashing card and will serve you well.

With the PSU you should also look into the XFX and the Sapphire models that currently are selling at a really low price in comparison to the product you get. The Sapphire is 625W and will power your system nicely even if you settle for a more power hungry GPU option.

Have fun with it. Unless I am being blind there are no actual problems with your build. There are tweaks you could make, but if you read some other threads around the site there is a lot of information to be had.

what tweaks?

Why do you want extra power? If it's for future upgrades eg 2nd gfx card then change mobo to a 890 chipset for better x firing, I may be barking up wrong tree here but can't see any other reason why you'd want "more power"

im not sure about torrenting windows 7 so here ya go a little over budget but i can go over (ill try) about the i3 build i actually had cornflakes :)
 
95thrifles said:
That build looks good too, but as I said before so did your earlier one, youve gone from a 5850 to a 470 which whilst slightly better the difference is negligible, comparison and a Phenom 955 to i5 760 which again when it comes to gaming the difference is again negligible (except in FC2), comparison (linked bench compares 750 not 760 as 760 does not have full range of scores)
Either set up will be good
It wasnt me he was getting arsey with, it was Jony, and I dont think Jony pointing out the subtle differences between whether you were banned or suspended warrant getting irate over, personally, its a matter of semantics

thank you i just want best for buck and amd looked it i was just...experimenting with the i5 build to see what is better.

jakesnake said:
fair enuff. but,

its a sin to "not" overclock an i5 to 4ghz to get the performance every1 talks about. so you dont think a £50 625W psu trying to cope with an i5 @ 4Ghz and eventually x2 470s plus all the other components isnt a "risk"

i probably wont go sli or xfire
 
Marine-RX179 said:
That's good too. I haven't really been bothered to pay too much attention to this thread because of a certain eyesore, but if Scone want Win 7 with a build that got a GTX470 for under £800, then the AMD build is the only way to go.

should i get w7 full version or oem and yes thats the build ill go for
