£400-450 GTX 660 build?

[Lord Cameron]

Hey Tom's hardware,

Is it possible to build a GTX 660 (or radeon 7870) machine for £400-450? I don't need anything but the PC itself.

If not what would be the best build for my budget, that would run games such as ARMA 3, DayZ Standalone, BF3 and next gen titles? Or is it simply not possible?

Also I'm going to be adding non-essential things such as SSDs later on.


Thanks

I could not possibly find a way to place a 660 here, but you get a 650ti boost, wich is a beast card.
The fx6350 is preety good (i really wanted the i5 but + the mobo would be 80pounds more)
8gigs is plenty and with this build you should play anything at high settings without a problem, its a fantastic card.
