Hi all users!

I've got a budget of 600£-700£ for a new pc. I don't need monitor, case. The computer is gonna be used particularly for gaming.
Things that I would like to have in:
- 4gb of ram
- The best graphic card which is possible to get within this budget
Could you guys offer me some decent setup to choose from? :)

Well, you got yourself a pretty good budget and you may feel good with this one:

Intel Core i5-750
GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P LGA 1156 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
Radeon 5770 HD
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Microsoft Comfort Curve Value Pack (Mice and Keyboard)
LG 22X DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model GH22LS50 LightScribe Support

Anything missing?

That is aroun £471(i think)
So you have plenty of room
Tell me more about what you really want in your PC

This is a setup I wanted to buy but I've realised it's way too much for me and I should decrease the price:

Intel Core 2 Quad i7-920 2,66Ghz (Cooling: Scythe S-Flex 120mm FAN, Prolimatech Megaalmes CPU Coder)

1100W Tagan TG1100-U33 Turbojet 2 Force

Gigabyte GA-EX58 Extreme or Asus RAMPAGE II

Gainward nVidia GTX 285

OCZ DDR3 Flex EX Series Triple Channel 1600MHz

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32 mb Cache

I would suggest you to go for i5 750
The same Motherboard, RAM, HDD
I think, you have a lot of room to add another 5770.
It will give you performance close to $400USD 5870 at the price of $320USD
And
Why not a SSD for Operating System?

Forgot the power supply. I suggest you go for corsair 650W Hx:

(example)

As for memroy there are 2 models of G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) at 1333 Mhz. The difference is about 10$. The one more expensive has a little better timings.(that's on newegg USA) See witch ones are available in your country/location.

DVD burner, i would go for a ASUS one, i used LG and ASUS but the later one works better in time. At list for me it did.

Your choice here.
