Hi People,
I know you see lots of these threads, i've also read a lot of them.
Im looking at doing my 1st build and want to keep it sub 1K.
I like the look of the below but having not built a rig before and having a newbie level of knowledge i would really appreaciate your input on what you think are good choices and what you would change.
Its for the usual reason of wanting to play high end games at the highest or high settings at respectable frame rate
Below is my basket (i cant seem to find out how to add with the links and pictures?)
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 TOXIC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £259.99
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £179.99

Seem cheap, what am i missing or skimping on?
Also i currently have the following setup
Dell XPS consisting of
i7 860 processor
ATI HD5770
2TB hard drive
(no idea what mobo or any otherparts)
8GB RAM not sure on the frequency
Would it be worth me reusing any of the above?
