560ti is a joke at that price, change that for a 7850, i'm not to up to date with stuff like psus so I can't comment on much else.

Not sure why for the micro ATX mobo.

Bacon? · 9 Sep 2012 at 20:49

Would be looking at a dual fan 7850.

Uncle Petey · 9 Sep 2012 at 21:01

I'd take RJC's spec and put a decent mobo on there and only go a few quid over £600.

tbh, i wouldnt get the ocuk keyboard.
its cheap and tacky, some keypresses dont register properly
and worst of all, the key sizes are all screwed up =x
(im currently typing on one)

dacads · 9 Sep 2012 at 22:20

I'm glad I got a Logitech keyboard for a few extra quid. The main thing is that it's functional, hardly a keyboard if the 'keys' aren't working

tamzzy · 9 Sep 2012 at 22:24

well, its more of an interim keyboard for me ;p
i cant find any place that stocks us layout keyboards

tamzzy · 9 Sep 2012 at 22:25
