hi im looking to buy a pc, i've thought of i rough idea of what i want, but its too expensive.

I would like to have:
i5
(and at least) a 560TI

Can you help me choose a setup, as everytime i try to think of one, i end up with a much more expensive build.

thanks

Wow thanks thats brilliant
 


There's no price for the case or SSD so that's actually going way over budget. On this budget I'd skip the SSD and add one in later:
