Hi guys, been here for a good few years now, not really much of a poster but I thought I would ask you to cast your beady eyes over the following list please.
Reason being my son's blue circle
laptop has died and he said he would rather have a desktop system now, mainly for gaming, not BF3 or MW3 type games, the games are steam games and tbh to me they look rubbish 
, so I quickly put the following together, what would you change ? I know some are this week only etc, also at least one is pre-order IIRC. Won't be ordering for about two to three weeks due to holiday coming up, I know prices will change in this time.
I went Ivybridge for the sake of the extra fiver...worth it...yes/no ? (can't believe the 2500k has hardly budged in price since I bought mine
)
I DO NOT NEED/WANT :
SSD,
Keyboard,
OS,
Mouse,
Case.
I am looking to shave a few £££'s off to try and get it nearer to £700 if possible, maybe drop to a 500gb HDD, drop to a 600w PSU, that sort of thing. Not really looking to OC it but would still like the 'K' derivative CPU just in case.
