Suggestions for upgrade. £400.

Hey guys, I couldn't get around to ordering Idleman's build, So I've missed out on the offers which saved me £50. Just wondering if anyone could knock up another build for £400 again.

Cheers, Sneakze.
 
Yeah looks nice. What about this mobo instead? considering its on offer - MSI Z77A-G45 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
This Week Only Offer
was £104.99 inc VAT
£83.99 inc VAT


Also would my 550w be able to handle this new setup?

It`s a decent mobo. The build is the same as the other one, in terms of power usage, so Psu is still good.

Would it be ideal when putting new chip onto mobo to update the bios before? Or will it work with the current bios installed on it?

It should be all right as it comes. Have not heard of any problems with this mobo. The Gigabyte board I specced, most people have had to update the Bios to get The Gpu to work.
 
Just found out getting another £250 in a few weeks, wondering its worth picking up an Agilty 3 SSD & W7 as I'm selling my current mobo,cpu to a mate. This would be easier than calling Microsoft to move the key out for me.

Edit: Also I'll probably use my gtx550 till I get the £250 then pick up the 7850.

Cheers Idle, appreciate your help. Would you recommend upgrading the firmware on the SSD or just plug play?

Edit:
I'm not really up for switching to W8 as of now.
