I'm looking to build the best gaming PC for around £600. I would like the gaming PC to run games such as Battlefield 3 and DayZ on high settings with minimal lag. I have put together a PC that i feel would all work together, i would love your suggestions on either improving the one i have built or maybe with your own built PC. I am open to any suggestions so please feel free :).

The Gaming PC i have built:
Asus P8Z77-V LX, Intel Z77, S 1155, DDR3, SATA III - 6Gb/s, SATA RAID, PCIe 3.0.
Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9-1600MHz-Vengeance-Memory
Intel Core i5 3570 / 3.4 GHz processor
Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti Nvidia Graphics Card
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Cooler for CPU
SEAGATE 1TB BARRACUDA 7200.14
Crucial CT032V4SSD2 32GB V4 SATA II 3Gb/s MLC 9.5mm 2.5 Inch Internal SSD
LG GH24NS90.AUAA50B 24x SATA Bare Internal DVD Rewriter - Black

Hi, not sure if you should have those links to other retailers. If you find the gear you like on the Overclockers main site, make a shopping list and copy the link it looks a little better too!! :p

My eyes hurt!! :(

I would remove the mini SSD and go with a better GPU and go with a K series cpu.

Give me a moment!
