I'm thinking of going with the above build for my gaming rig, as I have not built one before I'm looking to you guys for advice :D

I'm on a £650 budget for the time being, and looking to run Battlefield 3 at around med-high settings at a comfortable FPS.

My major concern is the case, I maybe looking to crossfire the 6870 a few months after purchasing this, would the case provide me any space problems, I've read the reviews which seem to say it is quite a spacious case.

I know I probably would need to upgrade the PSU if I was to Crossfire aswell.

Does everything that I have added to that list look compatible, and fit well within the case?

Thanks in advance :)
 
i'd look at changing the mobo to one of the z68 ones,either the Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 or Asus P8Z68-V LX which are around the price of the msi one.

i'd also swap the cooler to the Gelid Tranquillo or corsair a50.

case should be ok for crossfire, may need some work with the drive cage in the bottom of the case but nothing major.

psu should be fine for crossfire if your going with the 6870's.
 
Cheers guys, I've changed the mobo over to the Asus P8Z68-V LX and gone with the Antec 100

I don't think I'll be buying till Christmas or just after, still need to put away another £200 yet

But that will be roughly the cheapish build I'm going for initially, then look to add/upgrade parts later on :)
