Do you have any components that can be reused, sata hdd/odd, Psu, cooler or OS?

 

[elrasho]

Just the OS, don't need kb, mouse and monitor either

A budget would be useful

However this is a great system for gaming

Thanks Idleman! Will that be able to play games like COD: Black Ops 2 at 1080p with Medium settings? I'd prefer an nVidia card really, there's an EVGA 660 for £172 to be had, is that much better than an 7850?

 

[Bromhead]

a 7850 is on par with a 660ti. 660 is not as good as a 7850

The 660 just edges it but is clocked slightly higher. But the 7850 is an exceptional OCer, so makes it better value for money. But if you prefer Nvidia and can get it for £172, then the choice is up to you.

Hmmmm that looks great but isn't a 1GB 660 outdated now? I'll be gaming on a single screen at medium settings, but could do with more VRAM 'just in case;
