Hey guys, was looking to upgrade my PC. I have a core i3 with 4gb of corsair ram and a gigabyte board. I have some cheapo case with a 450w ocuk value psu also with an ati 5450 graphics card. I was thinking of upgrading the case psu and gpu so I can play games with ease and on high settings. I was thinking of getting the bitfenix outlaw case as I have seen videos of the case and it looks good for being at that price. An OCZ 750w PSU for £72 and a 6850. This comes to around £250 which will probably be the most I can spend. Can anyone tell me if I've made a good choice or if there is better for cheaper or a similar price.
Thanks
Rowan :)
 
better upgrade for you:

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X PLUS Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **OcUK Exclusive** £149.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £64.99
1 x Bitfenix Outlaw Gaming Case - Black £39.98
Total : £254.96 (includes shipping: FREE).

better graphics card with an amazing cooler. PSU is still perfectly happy with going crossfire in the future.

the cooler is what HIS usually use for their overclocked 6950 and 6970 series cards, so it keeps the 6870 nice and frosty :)
 
Thanks guys :) if i had to lower the budget to £200 but still wanted a case/psu/gpu that will be capable of playing games at medium/high settings what would i be able to get? im not that bothered if the case is anything fancy just something tidy that i will fit all of my hardware in and im not too bothered about a modular psu aslong as it has enough juice to power everything :)
