That's the build i'm hoping to make. I'm from the UK so all my parts above are from Ebuyer..It comes to around £450. Can you help me check if it all works well together and if there's anything that might bottleneck the system.

Thanks,

VexinD!

Bulldozers are coming out ( New AMD CPUs) in a weeks time, The prices are sure to come down but yeah pretty good.

Do you plan on overclocking? If not, get this

The Black edition is mostly for overclocking. I think you are planning to OC but pays to be sure.

Yeah i plan on overclocking to 4.5 i heard it's simple to do that and keep the system stable.

One of my main concerns with this build is just the case and airflow. Will the GTX 560 be able to fit inside the case and allow decent airflow? If you or anyone could answer that would be great

Wouldn't let me edit previous post but this is the link to the case:

Yeah, personally I have never seen that case b4 but with the price I doubt the airflow would be decent.

Ok i've looked around ebuyer and found a better case which i like...is under £50 so not too expensive

With that out the way, my final concern i guess is the power supply.

Is 600w too much? or should i stick with it rather than a 500 or 550W psu?

Also will this build be able to run Battlefield 3? I checked the req's im pretty sure it can...anyone can confirm and maybe estimate the FPS @ 1280x720 and 1920x1080 ?

 

[vexindexin]

Ok thanks i will definitely be overclocking my CPU so it can perform better. I don't mind too much playing at medium settings as long as the FPS is always above 30

FPS being over 30 for all games at 1280x720 or higher is all i want ... 60 fps etc is even better.

Thanks for the advice everyone. 😀
