Slightly over budget. Mobo is xfire compatable. Psu will be enough should you go xfire. You can always get a cooler later.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ Nexuiz, Sleeping Dogs & Dirt Showdown PC Games £161.99

You fit very well in the buget, thank you!

Do you use Tridef software for converting with that monitor from 2d to 3d or the monitor does the convering?The sutter glasses are coming with the monitor, right?

Monitor has the converter built in. Iv not even looked at software yet not had chance.
Yes you get one pair of glasses with the monitor. Just keep in mind though that it only runs at 120Hz when connected through the Display port.

Yes but you use the Tri-Def software/drivers for games you can just use hardware but the software is omptemised for each game.

there are a lot of games that are not listed in the tri-def software. Been playing Sleeping dogs in 3D which isn't listed in the tri-deff software and just used the 3D option in the games options and i was blown away. Also watched Avatar Bluray 3D which was also excellent. looking forward to trying it in 120Hz now as at minute can only use 60Hz until i get a mini DP-DP cable.
