Hi Looking for a new pc upto 1k.

I want it for photoshop and the new mw3 and battlefields. It will be used with my hazro 27" screen at res of 2560 x 1440 so i guess g/card will need to be punchy.

No need for windows etc so need just base unit.

Any ideas thanks in advance

^^ that, if you dont need an OS
why spec the XFX 6950, when you can save £15 with the Sapphire/MSI 6950 2GB
 
Just another option, as 2560*1440 is a large res for gaming, you forgo the SSD and get a better graphics card. Or in this case 2.

2x560Ti's are cheaper than a 580 with better performance at higher res.
Downside is you have no option to add another card down the line.

560 with 1GB Vram is not enough for the OP resolution

A 6950/6970 with 2GB Vram will be perfect.

if you want to SLI the GTX570 in the future, i would change the PSU to a quality 850w to give you headroom for overclocking.
i would also change the SSD to the crucial m4 as people have had problems with OCZ SSds
