New build - gaming - budget £600-£800

[dbailey10]

Hi guys,

Usual thing here, after a bit of knowledge from those abit more clued up. Haven't built a system since E6600 and haven't really kept up with developments. Just wondered if theres anything majorly wrong with this build / any adjustments anyone would make. System will be used mostly for gaming, no video editting or things like that

Appreciate any replies, thanks.

This would be my personal choice if I had £800 or so to burn.I'd even maybe go smaller for the hard drive as i think it's better to have a small fast drive for OS etc and bigger drives for storage etc.Think it's worth getting a very good case because it will last you many years and builds to come.And a good cpu cooler well worth getting.Might also be worth looking for a corei7 route that does the full double x16 speeds in xfire but they are pricey.
