Basicly as cheap as possible.. 500-600

Gaming build quiet as possible. Need everything except windows and mouse, keyboard and monitor/speakers/wireless card :)

I wish i could spend more but i fear this may restrict me a lot

BUYING Tuesday so use weekly deals if u can also :)
 
Sacrafice the card for less, want more ram. There much be cheaper boards :S Dont want tht psu! And need HDD or SSD + Dvd drive
 
I can possibly strip my current pc down for parts i did want to sell it but i don't have too. Ill try sell it then add the money to my budget

Great spec! Will the psu be fine for a future upgrade of adding a second card? Or would i need higher
 
How long will that current card last me considering i don't play too many games (Portal 2, CSS, Skyrim and bf3) Is mainly all i play. My 9500GT Can handle them all fine. So i guess a estimated time this rig would last me?

Your 9500GT can handle BF3? Really?

I have pretty much the spec stulid posted and if you're willing to sacrifice some AA you can play BF3 on high settings to around 45-70 FPS in multiplayer.

How long it'll last? Well with that spec you can easily upgrade the graphics card to a better single slot solution at a later date. The CPU will be good enough for a good few years IMO.

Lol yeah 9500GT 512mb combined with 2GB Ram and a Triple core AMD :D Slow ish but it runs
 
My other suggestion to myself is.. Buy all but the gfx card now and just have it running on intergrated (until payday) so i can spend more on components and then i have my free shipping in 14 days also.. Just i gotta buy a new car soon also *rolls eyes*
 
Another (Not so smart but maybe smart) brainwave

Im going to wait until ivy and get a chip second hand, But im going to order the following now

Case, PSU, SSD, and a new Cpu cooler..

The cpu cooler MUST work with both AMD and Intel though as i currently have an AMD setup. And also must mount 360 degrees directions on both. I hear the gelid does this?

Case wise i was thinking the bitfenix shinobi or the Coolermaster CM-690 Either lite or the white and black advanced..

Psu please recommend me one for a single card setup as i have decided on single only now.

CPU cooler ( Gelid i think )

SSD??? M4 ?
 
DAMN! I wish i saved money :( Any other good SSD's???

And defently the modular psu's but do the bit fenix cables work with these? I like the white ones

The M4 is still cheap enough at £76.99

The Bitfenix cables will go into the ends of the modular PSU cables and not directly into the PSU body itself, it was mentioned in this thread that braided cables for the most popular PSU's would be a good idea,

Ahh :) Will the modular one work fine with, Either the 6870 or 560Ti, Eventually an i5 2500k (overclocked), 2x HDD, 1x SSD, Various fans :)

Also is 60GB enough??

Will that gelid work 360 on both AMD And intel
