The wife wants to upgrade and downsize at the same time and likes the orange Betfinex case, she has a 1080p monitor and new drives and a retail copy of Windows 7 so was thinking along the lines of:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £161.99
1 x Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe (Socket 1155/Intel Z77.DDR3/S-ATA 600/Mini ITX) £159.98
1 x Seasonic X-Series 650w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £114.98
1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Magma Orange £64.99
1 x Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit £53.99
Total : £748.52 (includes shipping : £10.50).
Wasn't sure on the gfx card - in her machine atm there's an Asus 480GTX, will the 7850 compare well to it, or will she be better of with a 7950? I don't see her planning on a bigger resolution monitor any time soon and she plays things like Borderlands 2, WoW, and Torchlight.
