well it is around £200 but id rather not spend that much since im not the hardest gamer. im gna spend around £100 on the gpu and the same with cpu.
 
If you want to be future proof and be able to play the latest games comfortably get a 7950. if you just want it to play lol then a 7850 or similar should be sufficient. What your cpu
 
Might be helpful if you can post the rest if your system spec including power supply and case.

I would go with a 7950 personally. Great bang for buck right now as the prices are discounted as its effectively now end of line and last generation. Bear in mind that once sold out thats it. You could wait for ine to appear on a today only deal and pick one of the better non reference cards.

i havent 100% decided but its most likely going ot be the Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz its the cheapest i5 processor atm

EDIT: im also thinking of getting the AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor apparently its great price:performance ratio. am i right? would like your opinions please

Might be worth posting a spec me thread in the General Hardware forum with your total budget and I'm sure someone will spec you a well rounded spec very quickly. Personally I would spend the extra on the i5 4670K.
