My PC Build. HELP

[II UK Gamer II]

If anyone can respond, I would be very thankful, and would be very happy.


I am planning on getting a new gaming pc worth around £520. I have a friend who can build it for me so that is not a worry.

Case- Zalman z9 case - £45
> Graphics card- Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC- £168
> Processor- AMD FX 8320 Black Edition 8 core- £121
> Motherboard- Asus M5A78L-M/USB3- £46-
> RAM- 8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (2x4GB)- £53
> Hard drive- 500GB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s- £43
> Power supply- 550W Corsair VS- £30
> Total- £506

Would this be any good, or should I change anything?

A 7870 is very simaler spec to the 660 but slightly cheaper, and if you can get the Tahiti le version of the 7870 then that would be much better.

From what I understand that mobo won't overclock very well, if that's what your intending.

Thanks for the advice m8, but do you think you could reduce the builds price a bit by 20 pounds?? Thanks

" > Power supply- 550W Corsair VS"

This PSU would be fine, we are not allowed to discus other prices on here
